I was gifted this pattern a few years ago and it sat on a shelf. When asked to make a queen quilt for DGS for his Univ. apt. this jumped out. It is a Debby Maddy pattern called Labyrinth and she shows it done in these kinds of colours. I debated using another colour family but when I thought about it, boys, univ., washing, I figured this would be the best way to go.
Not too difficult to make, just need to keep units organized. Wondering whether the quilting is too dense but I left it to the LAQ to decide.
And I did use some fusible to attach the label along with a lot of stitching.
Anyway, it is finished, now needs to be boxed and shipped.
Had to do a lot of furniture moving to get space enough to lay it out and take a photo.

PS It doesn't show but that last border is really two different browns.

I'm Done, I'm Done with WonderHorse
Comments (36)I have a spring horse we bought for my son (he's now 44) and I have it cut in half lengthwise, with the intention of having the two halves face each other, mounted on my board fence. I intend to fill the cavity with spray foam insulation, so there's no place for hornets to nest. What kind of paint should I use? Is there a primer that I should use? This horse is hard plastic and has been through a raft of children and still looks pretty good, so I'd say it's sturdy. My house is federal blue with yellow trim, so I want to have one horse blue with yellow and the other yellow with blue. Does that sound dumb? So far, this is just in the planning stages, and I don't find anything else in the Garden Junk forum exactly like what I've got in mind. I'd love suggestions.......See MoreArbor #2 Done! Done! Done!

Comments (3)Yep, a pre-midlife crisis project. Something I've wanted to do for 10 years now. My plans? Well, let's just say, I've obsessed....um, er...thought about the design for the last 5! So, yes, my design...LOL...See MoreDone! Done! Done!
Comments (10)One+ year later update! Ok, so here's the scoop on TWP and the arbor that I used/built - still holding up pretty well. Color has faded a bit, but I can't tell if it is the wood changing color or the light stain fading. Regardless, still looks nice. Though now, I am starting to see, what I call "pollution" streaks from the very top of the (the flat part exposed to sky) of the 2x2's covering the whole structure. it's probably the tanins that are leeching out and "dripping" down on the upper struts of the arbor. But, in a way, it's not too bad - in fact it's lending a slightly weathered look. Will need to keep an eye on this though. Anyway, the stain is still beading though which is great. in fact when it rains the wood takes on a darker hue. Wood is holding up just fantastic. no splits, minimal shrinkage around base of posts, and smooth as my 4 yo's butt! Sorry about that! he's running around here nekkid! Routed sides of posts have saved many split heads on our kids...plust the base of the posts have helped them not to run near them. though they love to stand on the bases. Installed lights up in cavities of the trellis and have crated a really cool effect onto concrete and wood accenting. I'll post some pics. Oh and money grew on some of my trees so I get to start my outdoor kitchen! Whoo Hoo! Will have matching arbor over top of that too! just wanted to give you all an update. I see some many forums and the threads just seem to stop with no updates......See Morei'm done!! finally done! yay yippee!!!
Comments (35)What a tease! Although, I must say, for you, this must be such a relief. I only have my cabinets, faucet, sink, fridge, range, oven, floor selected and I'm over the moon. I still have counters, sink, tile, DW, paint, and....to go. Whew...what a job!!! Really looking forward to the see your vision all come together. You really are in the home stretch...patience is the key. Good luck!!!...See Morenannykins
