I have never made the pattern, Meadowland, by Then Came June, although it has been wildly popular. Since I have been trying to sew my stash in 2023, I decided this was the year. I had a stack of fabric that I've held on to for years: Quilter's Tweed by Robert Kaufman (poor photo...)
I added a solid gold and started making blocks.
When I posted a progress photo on Instagram/Facebook, our friend, Mike, made this comment, I knew that this quilt was destined to belong to him.

I had some fabric that looked like postal service cancellations and since it was going from California to Kansas, and I had yards of it, it seemed like a great choice for backing.
Quilting was done by Darby Myers.
I always enjoy making a quilt even more when I can think about the person who will receive it. Mike is a special guy and I hope he enjoys this one.

Another beautiful quilt. I agree with Mike that it reminds me of autumn. Those tweedy looking fabrics really do make it a man's quilt. How great you get border fabric that goes with the top. And I love the back. Congrats on another great quilt.
I love it when I know quickly where a quilt will be going. I am sure Mike will get lots of great use with it. And that stripe border really is the perfect finishing touch.
Beautiful colors and subtle textures. Perfect border print too. It's a great gift for a man. I'm sure he will love having it. I'm somehow way behind in blog reading. I don't get email notifications anymore and without those it's out of sight out of mind. Will try to follow again and see if that helps. Hope you are doing well.
