Quilt finished...
Isn't that a good feeling? I just love finishing something. In the quilting world, it seems like a rare thing, indeed. There are just so many stages between step #1 and done. Ya know? Now this particular quilt didn't take me long. The pattern was in Coffee Time. It was called Caramel Latte. Of course, I had to rearrange the colors and now it is a bit more like Expresso By The Sea! I just used the fabrics that I had and it turned out very nice I think. I used some of everything in it. There's civil war reproductions, asian, calicos and batiks. I pieced it back in February, and quilted it and bound it this month. I still need to get the label made. see? Not really finished, eh? Close enough to show you, though. It is for a dear friend and his sweet wife- one of my sons was born on their bedroom floor. Now there's a long story. But I don't think I'll be getting into that. At any rate, he likes coffee and she likes blue. Hope it's a good match.

Love the blues and brown mixture. Call it 'sippin' coffee outside'!
VERY pretty!
It's fabulous, Nines!!! I love it...and your special couple is going to love it as well! Very rich and smooth...just like a good cuppa.
And where are you?!?! Sending hugs...wherever you may be!
She wore brown/blue at her daughter's wedding and declared it was the dress she'd wear to all her seashore weddings. I think "Expresso by the Sea" is a very good title and the quilt a very good match! XOXOXO
This is really a spectacular quilt!
a special quilt for a special couple..very nice!
Beeeeeeeeautiful! I like the colors you used, they work well together.
Hope you're having a great weekend!
God bless :)
That turned out beautifully! I love brown and blue together. Congrats for getting a project done!
Oh wow. It's lovely, and the combination of fabrics is just inspired. I love mixing fabrics that might not necessarily "go" together. It isn't always possible and doesn't always work -- but in this case, it does so well!
Two...no three of my favorite things...coffee, the ocean and quilts. Toss in a scotty dog and this quilt is perfect!!!!
Beautiful job. Love the mix of fabrics.
This quilt looks HUGE! Love the colours you chose.
That looks like my size of quilt. It must be a special couple to get such a special quilt.
Oh I LOVE it! I loved it the first time I saw it on your blog. Very cool quilting. It kind of looks like baptist fans but not all going the same way?
I love the colors too!
A beautiful quilt! And from Feb to June seems like a speedy project to me. Great job!
A great quilt, love the colours and the pattern!
