Soaring Eagle Quilt, Completed

 The Soaring Eagle quilt for our oldest grandson Aaron, 24, is finished.

It measures 101" x 107".  I designed it in EQ8.  The central panel is a Robert Kaufman print called 'Patriots'.  I used a variety of thread colors and weights on top in Magnifico, So Fine!, and Omni; and I used a dark gold 60-wt. Bottom Line in the bobbin.  The batting is Quilters' Dream 80/20.

I custom-quilted it on an 18" Handi Quilter Avanté, using rulerwork and free-motion.

 The binding is on grandson Aaron's Soaring Eagle quilt.  It's all done!  Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get pictures of it on the quilt-display frame.

View from the north window in my quilting studio.  The wind was blowing hard, with gusts up to 50 mph.
