First Manly Quilt Finished

 One down and three to go.  This one just needs to be washed and mailed and hopefully within a week I'll have a happy brother.  This brother is the one who made my mother's end table, which I have now, DH and my drop leaf table, and my laptop desk, so it's nice to send him a little something.  He also made me a ruler rack and a thread stand for my machine embroidery.  Kind of makes me wonder what took me so long, lol.  The backing on this is one of the Land's End flannel sheets, and boy does it feel nice, the border is United States Marine Corps logo fabric.

Looks great....... But a brother that makes those gorgeous things for you should maybe deserve two quilts...

You have one lucky brother to be getting such a great quilt. A finished quilt is such a joy.

Very nice. The backing sounds really nice too. It will be nice that he will have something you made.
