I really wanted to take the finished quilt outdoors for photos but the excessive amount of pollen prevented that.
Quilted with Glide thread in Nickel using my liberated all-over nested free motion spirals.
(thankfully we will have rain off and on for the next few days which will help clear the air and wash away the worst of the pollen)
I folded the quilt with its back side out before Young Man arrived for his sleepover.
This was his immediate reaction when he walked into the sunroom.
Daddy lifted the quilt up and this happened.
One super happy boy.
Afternoon TV time . . .

Conclusion: Dragon Fyre was totally worth the effort - another perfect example of WHY we make quilts.

Young Man's joy leaps off the page in those photos, as does yours. It's plain to see that Dragon Frye is already treasured!
the absolute reason we make quilts...
I should try to find that dragon panel. One of my grandson's is totally into dragons right now. Dragon Frye is clearly a big hit with YM.

He is one lucky boy!!!
Great quilt, wonderful fabric choices by YM, perfect quilting by Gma, and sheer joy abounds!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs!
Your heart must be full to busting! What a fabulous reaction from YM.
Yup! Totally WHY we make quilts!
That's a very happy customer!
Definitely an appreciative recipient! Love the smile -- and the quilt. (I like the quilting pattern, too.)
That is so cool! The quilt and the reaction. Totally worth the effort😊
His reaction is so genuine. You couldn't have made him more happy. Bravo! ;^)
I love a good story (and fabulous quilt) with a happy ending!
His precious smile says it all. Awesome!!!
Mission accomplished, Julie, as that is one very happy YM!!
Oh what a treat to see the reaction of your grandson - true love at first sight of Dragon Fyre and lots of cuddling underneath. The last photo of the both of you is so, so special, you'll both treasure the moments and says everything about why we make quilts.
we have SO enjoyed this particular quilt-making adventure from the very beginning (enough to order the panel, even though we aren't supposed to be buying fabric) - but this "ending" is breaking out smiles all around here!!! well done!!!
Spectacular!!! In the reading photo, your outfit matched the quilt!
