Finished, Gifted and Returned

Remember the black and white quilt top I was working on? I added a narrow teal (aqua?) stripe around the perimeter -

and a thicker dark border around that.

Love how it looks - and so do the recipients, who saw it today and said they loved it. But I still brought it back home with me . . . . . only so I can send it off to be machine quilted and have the binding put on. Once it's returned, I'll hand sew the back of the binding down and re-return it to the giftee. 

And the bonus? Youngest son says he loves this too. Can you say birthday (or Christmas) present?
