Finally finished The quilt for big brother! I had intended to finish it for him as a "we still love you even though we brought home another kid" gift but it took a bit longer than I expected. Yes this is the little one on the quilt for the other one but we just won't tell him.
I used linen in between the pieced parts, there was worry about how it would quilt but it came out great. The straight lines were pretty easy to quilt but admittedly it was hard to handle all the fabric so I used cloths pins to hold it together, first rolling it like a jelly roll and then clamping it together.
Fabric came from all over, linen at Jo-Ann's, and prints from In-town Quilters. He picked out most of the patterns I added a few to round it off and omitted the skulls print, but only because purple did not fit it with the scheme.
