at this time of year....
is better than perfect!
And this far from perfect!
"City Skyline" was happily gifted on Christmas Day!
"City Skyline" was happily gifted on Christmas Day!
I ended up stippling the sky,
with its eight different coloured solids!
and minimally hand quilting each
of the seventy or so blocks!
The backing is from the Curious Nature
range by Parson Gray in the Oyster shade...
My son probably won't need it for awhile....
It is summer after all and he goes to London,
for six months, in April!
I probably have time to make it perfect!
Linking up with the F-A-L....
(I hope to be back before 2014 arrives,
with a late finish!)
Happy sewing!

Fantastic quilt!
Maybe he should bring it with him, he may need it here in April......
oh so stunning! I'm so impressed with your layout and your different colored sky!! Beautiful quilting too - wow!!! Good going!!
Wow, it's fantastic, well done!
What a clever idea! I particularly like the two buildings that have spiky tops as they look so very roof like.
Love the Parson Gray choice for the backing! Perfect.
It looks wonderful to me! I love the eight shades of the sky and the bits of blue in the neutral blocks. This is a stunning quilt.
Fabulous quilt! Such lovely shades!
You did it! and sorry but I think it is perfect! What a treasure. I love the colors your choose. What a wonderful finish.
it is an amazing finish :-)
This. Is. Awesome. What a stunning quilt. It IS perfect
Ahhhhhh! It is amazing! Probably one of my favorite quilts! Truly it is just awesome! I had no idea you were going to put it together this way. Oh Susan! I just love it!
Not many sons own quilts with such an original design. That is an amazing finish.
Amazing and a very lucky son.
Love it! I have just finished a quilt in Curious Nature for my son...must have been channelling you!
Well done, Suz! In time for Christmas and with hand quilting, none the less. You must have some helper elves ;-)
It looks wonderful. So many blocks!!!
It looks fantastic! I love the Sky
You need to come visit your son while he is here! the quilt is stunning and I love that varied grey solids background. It just works so well.
Beautiful finish! There's a lot of really great fabrics in there.
Happy new Year!

Well dont be so sure he wont need it here, we've had snow in May before!!
Another beautiful finish, bet you want to sew some colour real bad now?
Amazing quilt! What a wonderful gift for your son to take to London!
An amazing quilt!!!! Happy New Year!
Very nice quilt, Suz! I bet your son loved it. And if it doesn't get used in 2014, it will surely be used later. Happy new year, with a 2014 filled with all good things, including great health!
I LOVE IT! It's so different and well thought out!

What a fun setting, Susan. It's so genius to make it look like a city scape....wonderful!!
Gorgeous. I love what you have done with yours.
This is stunning! I love the quilt, and the stippling and the quilting. It is all wonderful and wonderfully masculine--perfect for a man's quilt.
I'm impressed you were able to finish it for Christmas, but then you are always amazing me one way or another.
