I am super pleased with the way this idea played out.
The panel quilted up beautifully and I had the perfect binding leftover and ready to go.
Quilted with my liberated all-over spirals using Glide thread in Ivory.
If someone had told me a few years ago that I could do this kind of quilting, I would have shaken my head in disbelief.
Practice surely does make a difference.
And here a view of the finished wall quilt.
We'll hang this in the dining room whenever we celebrate with a family birthday dinner.

P.S. DH has a new post on his blog sharing the many-month process of creating Eternity, his latest piece of wood art.

Super Van Gogh quote! Well, it is my Birthday next month, but no banner to be found here. Will check out your hubby's new work. It does take time and practice.
How delightful and your birthday panel will add to joy to the birthday celebrations to come!
How interesting to see your husband's newest creation. What diligence and perseverance it took to create Eternity!
I, too, enjoy your many quotations that brighten my days! Thank you!
Hugs!
This is so festive, perfect for a birthday! And the quilting is terrific. I looked at your husband's work, too-- wow! Such a talented pair!
A great job and it is the quilting that really enhances it. I agree its practise tatat makes the difference.
I've long admired all your quilting, Julie -- and now I've "met" Larry and his gorgeous woodwork. Both of you are inspirations! (Have you considered a quilt design to echo his woodwork?)
what a purely delightful and celebratory quilt! a family heirloom no doubt
Happy birthday! Great machine quilting too!
And I saw the greens in your previous post, full of life and hope.
