Nautical Quilt IX: “Saint Brendan”

15 Jun

Brendan’s quilt is complete!

I really think the fabrics came together beautifully, and my first attempt at free motion quilting isn’t half bad. I still haven’t made my own binding, but I did hand-stitch the binding on the back. It looks much better than if I had machine finished it. I love the dark brown frame for those beautiful blues.

I have named the quilt “Saint Brendan” for my husband’s name, of course, but also because it has ships–the Irish saint went on a great sea voyage, and the brown fabric has beautiful Celtic knots. What else could I have possibly named it?

Brendan seems to like it.

Love,

Tiff
