Body and Sole: Quilted

I finished quilting my Dad's quilt, Body and Sole this week!  I am SO excited with how this turned out!  I wish, wish, wish there wasn't snow on the ground so I could take this beauty outside for some nice photos... but alas, my moving box-filled apartment will have to suffice...



I quilted it with concentric circles using a tutorial by Karen at Blooming Poppies.  I started the circles off of  the center of the quilt and I think that it turned out really great!  The only part I had trouble with was the very middle small circles...



Since I didn't share the backing that I found for the quilt, here's a shot of the whole back:



The backing is Studio 8 for V.I.P.  It was the only backing that I found that had that dark blue, but didn't have flowers or anything girly.  In between the Studio 8 panels, I used some of the left over jelly roll strips I had of Spa by Deb Strain.



The quilting is more apparent on the back and I just love that!!



I am so thrilled with how this turned out!  If you want to see the rest of the quilt top, check out this post when I could take pictures in nice weather!

Today I am especially thankful for friends and family that are always ready and willing to lend a helping hand (like, for moving!)

Well, I hope y'all have a great Wednesday!  I am off to pack because we only have 5 days until closing!!!
