I actually spent National Quilting Day working on a quilt! In my last post I showed you the progress I had made on Aidan's Star Wars quilt. I am happy to report that because of National Quilting Day the top is complete. On my way home from visiting my grandchildren in Huntsville the other day, I stopped at Hancock's of Paducah and bought these two fabrics for an inner border and binding.
Yesterday I finished filling in the black background and added a half inch inner border of orange before putting the Darth Vader borders on. I am loving this quilt!
Now, to piece the backing. I have these two pillow panels that I want to use on the back along with the Darth Vader fabric and some black and orange scraps.
I am really excited about getting this finished. I know Aidan is going to love it!
On a serious note -- I think we should have a MONTHLY National Quilting Day. Don't you!?!?

AWESOME Sandy!!! He is going to love it!! I agree! There should be a monthly National Quilting Day!!!
Sandy, Congratulations!!!! That is one fantastic looking quilt. I wish I had a young grandson to make such a quilt for. Can't wait to hear what he says when he sees it. Dar PS Love the new pic of Aidan too.
Sandy - that looks great. Can't wait to see what you do with the back. Since I didn't remember it was National Quilting Day I'm not sure I would be very good with a MONTHLY Quilting Day.
Leaving Florida tomorrow - see you soon.
