Be careful when you ask this question


My son just moved into his first apartment. He now has a double sized bed, and of course I asked him if he would like a new quilt for his bed. I should have stopped there. Instead I found this beautiful quilt in Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting magazine. I asked him if he would like it, ( hoping he would say it wasn't his cup of tea), and he did.
I just finished the top. Tomorrow I will layer it. It is a pretty big quilt, but I am going to quilt it myself. I have the Bernina 830 which has plenty of room to quilt big quilts.... but what will happen to this quilt in his apartment. I think I am going to have to instruct him on the care of this quilt.

What a BEAUTIFUL quilt top!
My son is 25 so I can relate to the dilemna ;)
I'm sure it will look amazing when it's quilted!
