Orange Crush Revisited

I do actually finish things.
This is a remake of the 'Orange Crush' quilt I sold. I've missed it. I wanted one of my very own. It so fits with my orange sectional.

Said goodbye to my youngest yesterday. He's back in St. Paul ready for the fall semester.

Excuse me while I brag. He's a fabulous musician, composer, arranger, music producer...Quincy Jones in the making.
He's a DJ too...he's got a BIG gig in a Minneapolis club tonight.
You're going to rock the house, J.
(Pictures by Jon's friend Baylee Bishop , a soon to be famous photographer!)
Miss you already!

    Love the quilt! I've often wanted to remake a quilt I sold just so I could have it!

    That's pretty awesome that your son's so talented! He's going to be awesome at his big gig :)

    And he's a very good looking. Bet he's got many (girls) followers.

    A DJ too? So cool. (That is my not so secret fantasy career.)
    Nice finish too.

    Great pictures of your son and I just thought how perfect your modern quilts are in your modern home. Your Orange Crush quilt is beautiful! Looks great. Good job!

    What a great looking kid! And what a great looking quilt! I am trying to thnk "modern" but it is slow in coming. I love the look and wish I would have found it years ago!

    I love Orange Crush! Orange and grey is a colour combination that has grown unto me. Might be a project in orange and grey some day.
