Dwood's Quilt Done

I got my BIL's quilt back from the longarmer and bound it this week.  I think he is going to really like the 3D space fabric.  It has just enough 'nerd' factor to keep the computer engineer in him happy.

 
 
 
This is a Swirly Girls Design called 'Inner Piece', found in Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine (vol.19 no 4). 'Inner Piece' reminds me of their 'Grand Central' pattern, only Inner Piece uses nine patches, and Grand Central uses pinwheels. This is my 4th Swirly Girl quilt. Their patterns are very easy to follow, and simple enough that they don't take forever to get done. They are also good for novelty or big prints.


My favorite part is the quilting.  I think the longarmer selected the perfect pantograph for it.


 
The back of this quilt is pin wale corduroy. It feels like velvet. My BIL's b'day is next month.  I can't wait to see his reaction.  Now I have to find the 3D glasses that came with the fabric.
