At last! Grandson's quilt is finished! It is quilted, and the binding is finished. Fortunately I had a box that exactly fit it as well! This quilt is technically for his birthday, which falls on Christmas Eve, so I scrounged around the house for birthday wrapping paper. No go. What to do, what to do. I didn't want to wrap his birthday present in Christmas paper, so I came up with a creative solution:
I made a pillowcase using some of the left over triangles and strips and a piece of blue and tan checked gingham. Above is the front view and below is the side. Hurray! Now he has two gifts for his birthday!
Absolutely smashing! I saw a string quilt in plaids this week that knocked my socks off too...I need to expand my stash in this new direction!

Well I think that pillowcase was just perfect for wrapping that quilt. And I love the quilt.
