I finally have finished quilting Colt’s quilt. It has a minke blanket as backing. That was his request. The only blanket I could find was a plaid one and I was paranoid it would stretch and the lines would be crooked but it stayed quite straight.
I just buy a blanket from Kmart or bigW and it makes a very cheap backing actually. He has asked me nearly every day if it was finished. He’s so invested since he helped with the designing , picking the colours and sewing some blocks.
I have also finished quilting my Annie Downes quilt , “My Favourite Things “ . I will post the photos when I add the bind.

That is a fantastic finish. I'm sure it will be loved for a lifetime. I also often use fleece and minky blankets for backings.
I’m sure Colt will love it. Well done. That’s a great idea to get cheap ones from Kmart. They make a nice cuddly quilt. I’m guessing you didn’t use wadding?
It turned out so well and the backing really suits it. You’ll be in the good books now.
Jenny, this turned out perfect! He is going to love it.
