Happy Dance - Two Finishes!

DS1 wanted a Packer/Badger/Bucks and Brewers quilt. 

We couldn't find cotton fabric for all four teams so we settled on fleece. 

This is DS1's design for the blanket.  There was NO talking him out of it, and I DID say I'd make whatever he wanted....

But that didn't mean I couldn't be creative with the back side.

I finished this binding at a mini-retreat.

 

I'm VERY happy to have completed both these UFOs!  I was inspired by the Quilt Expo to wrap up my UFSs ASAP so I can do some serious quilting again. :)

 

 

Next Project - Fleece Blanket

This project has caused discord in the family. 

My son wants a Packers/Brewers/Bucks/Badger blanket.  We learned the only Brewers fabric to be had is fleece, so we went that route.  Above is how MOM wants the quilt to look (or some other variation of Trip Around the World).

THIS is how my son wants it.  Awful, in my opinion.  But beautiful to his eye.  Since every fiber of my being screams "No, no, a thousand times no!" to this arrangement, I ordered extra fabric so I can make one side his way and one side my way.  I can only hope he will grow tired of the four patch version.  Either way, we both get what we want. 

Will play with the Trip Around the World a bit more on EQ6 to get the optimal color arrangement.  That's a whole lot easier on the back than rearranging it on the floor umpteen times!  :)
