Goal # 75: Finish my son's quilt - Complete





Only 2+ years in the making! (Actually closer to 3) This took much longer than it should have, but it was a learning experience nonetheless. The lettering is India Ink, done on the top layer over blotter paper. The assembly is rather simple in that its just a solid center panel, with wide border strips added around it. The backside is an all-over fan pattern with an Asian countryside motif. The hardest part was doing the lettering and hoping that my rendition of the letters are actually close enough to the real thing as to be legible to someone who speaks or reads Korean. I hope I didn't make any horrible mistakes!

I was on a mission to get this done this month. My son is getting ready to move out of state, and it is just killing me! I know he will do well, but I am sooo going to miss him! We are not yet empty-nesters, but it sure is tough watching them leave home! With only one left in the house, things will certainly feel different.
