Swooning: A Joint Effort

We celebrated our first anniversary a few weekends ago. Time has flown and we've been together a million years. We started the weekend hiking at Mount Charleston. It was a very cold early morning and we brought the dog. She was dressed best for the day. I rummaged in my 72 hour kit and found some outerwear for us. We were both wearing shorts. Brunch was at the lodge in the outdoor patio (since we had the dog). All manner of breakfast foods and hot chocolate. The sun warmed us by 9 am.

We've been working together on this quilt for a while. He loves the scale and the colors. We made an effort to use solids. He loves solids. He likes it is interesting but not busy. A good description.

My birthday is Monday and he is giving me the quilting for my birthday. Quilted in swirls and some feathers by Quilted Works. This is his favorite quilt I've made. The back is a solid cream.

We are going to put it on our bed on Monday. It should stay for a while. Until something can usurp it. We'd better look around . . . . Linking to Finish It Up Friday!
