The recipient is going to be a teenage girl named Colleen who just had scoliosis surgery. She is an FA patient. Some of the fabrics in this quilt were leftover from the quilt I made for my niece, Allison when she had her scoliosis surgery a year and a half ago. This is also my block swap quilt. My husband thinks we should call it "Jason" because it is bright and random and so is he. (You almost have to know him for that to be funny.) I think we need a different name.....
Here is a shot of the backing. I love this bright orange, it is just so lively!
I also used variegated thread for the quilting this time. I like the look of it, but it was kind of a pain when my bobbin ran out and I had to take it off the machine to wind another bobbin. Note to self, wind multiple bobbins before starting to machine quilt! LOL
What are your thoughts for a name for this quilt? All I have left to do is the label.
All in all I am pleased with how it turned out. My only regret is that it has one pretty good sized pucker in the backing. JUST ONE! I am slowly progressing toward larger than lap size quilts! This one is 5 feet square.

Linda, I don't have a name but it reminds me of frames, maybe "snapshots" or something like that? It is beautiful-- nice job! I think Colleen will love it!
ok, I do know jason and that really made me laugh!!! I think if it weren't so pink and girly jason would be a good name for the quilt. I'll have to think about it and get back to you. hope you have a great day my friend.
oh, and the quilt is fantastic! it really came together nicely.
Linda, this quilt is stunning! I love the bright colours and the randomness of it and the backing suits the happy vibe this quilt exudes perfectly. What a beautiful gift!
Wow that is amazing, the first thing I though of was "viewfinder". First because it is one of my favorite toys and second because things look 3-d in it, which is what I saw when I looked at your incredible creation! I will say again...Amazing.
That quilt is gorgeous!
I absolutely LOVE this quilt.. its gorgeous.. I think I might have to make one for myself..
a name? 'framed bling' or a 'snapshot of pieces'.. I dunno, I am crap at naming quilts.. most of my quilts need names like 'squint so you can't see the errors' or 'best viewed from afar'!

whose points never match up, finished is better than perfect is my motto!
