Boxed In and Out: Quilt Finished

Hi there, I have a Saturday finish to share this week. I have completed my Boxed In and Out quilt that I made in the colors of the Minnesota Vikings football team. It is a gift for friends whose whole family are big Vikings fans.

Here is Boxed In and Out finished, quilted and bound. I quilted diagonally across the blocks. The pattern designer quilted in multiple rows across and diagonal the blocks. I would have liked to have done that as well, but it did not want to line up for me correctly.

This is how I chose to make the backing for this quilt. I thought it looked nice to add the gray to the purple and gold. It shows the quilting nicely. (The wind picked up and I did not photograph the completed back of the quilt.) I used gray thread to quilt the top.

I reallly like the graphic overall look to this quilt. I hope that our friends like it as well. We get to meet up with them this weekend, after not seeing them for 3 months. This will be a housewarming and late Christmas gift rolled up into one.

It has been brought to my attention by one of my blog’s email followers, that they are receiving three messages everytime I post. I do apologize if more of you or if all of you are receiving the same. It’s a service from ReadyGraph and I am not sure how they have the email updates set up. I will ask my other blog admin for help in possibly correcting the matter as soon as we can.

Thanks for stopping by this week. I am linking up with Crazy Mom Quilts and other weekend linky parties.

Happy Sewing,

Shelley
