The Eagle has Finally Landed!

After more than ten (10) days of Fall Cleaning/organizing and mods on the Boop Studio, finally got a path cleared back to the quilting frame to finish quilting eagles on this Eagle Quilt of Valor Doris & I created ;-)

Doris created the 9-patch interior and I got to add complimentary borders to bring it up to required QOV size, and it turned out fairly well, we think!

Here are a few close-ups of the actual 'eagle' quilting:

This patriotic quilt was quilted with Honey Gold Premo-Soft from the Essentials Thread kit by Kimmie Brunner - one of my favorite 'Gold' threads to quilt with, that creates a wonderful gold accent that compliments any quilt without being intrusive.  Premo-Soft also has a wonderful 'soft' hand, as the name reflects.  If you haven't tried this exceptional thread yet, why not give it a try on one of your next quilts?

For now...time to bind!

More than a few quilts ALL ready for binding...
Gotten a tad bit behind on my binding w/Fall cleaning & organizing...will need to start catching up soon...

Later,
