This is a Quilt that I made for my son (Keith) for Christmas... It will fit a King size bed but, he has a queen... Keith requested a quilt that will be larger than his bed.... He also wanted a black and white quilt but, I had to add another color...The white and red is printed like it is cracked paint... The back of the quilt is black flannel, this way I know he will be warm....The red is like a burnt red , I did not want a red too bright... If you enlarge the picture by clicking on the picture you can see the detail on the prints.... The quilt was quilted (stippling) by a good friend on the Cape (Katy)... She did a wonderful job... I quilted the border and did the binding.... It came out wonderful and I am proud of it.....The first picture is the label I put on the back... The name of the pattern is called "B Q"... :)

Love the quilt! You've been busy!
And yes...I am feeling better. Great thing about hand sewing...you can do it propped up in bed!
I love the red and black combination.

I think black & whites are hard but you did a great job on the contrast.. He is a lucky guy.. Happy Holidays,

Hi Jean,
What a terrific quilt; I'm sure Keith will love it. I particularly like the label with its outline of holiday lights - what a nice touch!
Happy quilting,

Hi Jean,
Love the quilt you made for Keith. He will be very surprised after he opens his gift Christmas morning.

Keith will be delighted when he opens and see this wonderful quilt that you made for him!
Thanks for sharing, Carolyn
I think the quilt is great but I think the label will hold a special place in his heart long after the quilt has worn out.
