Almost done. Just the binding to go. This is the Les Iles de la Madeleine Inspired Quilt that I designed as a souvenir of our trip there in June. Many of the houses on the islands are painted beautiful bold colours, so each square on the quilt represents an actual combination of house main colour and trim. The three white and red squares represent the lighthouses we visited. The green border is grass. The next border is a combination of beige for sand and sand dunes and rust for the reddish cliffs. The outside border is the ocean complete with white wave crests.
The binding will likely be the deep turquoise ocean colour.
The quilting was done at my local quilt shop (Thanks Tina!)-
Overall, I certainly like this quilt, but I don't love it. I am thankful to have tried solids, but I have realised I much prefer prints.

My son has claimed this quilt as his cuddle quilt. I tried to talk him out of it, by suggesting I would make him a great I-Spy quilt instead, but our trip to the islands meant a lot to him. (Sorry, Mom, you got bumped off the top of the list. It was going to be a surprise. Really. Better luck next time.)
