Son's quilt finished

I finished my son's quilt about a week ago.
I love how it finished and he did too.
He said it was too good to hang in his shop and he might take it to his apartment.
 
First let me show you, this is before filler
now after micro stippling
 
 See the difference?
 
My son has owned and operated a tattoo studio for the
past 21 years, a very classy place. His building was sold and he had to find and renovate
a new place.
 (Guess what I was doing last week on vacation, yep, drywall ,sanding, painting)
 I made this quilt for him to hang on a wall.  As I said before he loved it.
Didn't know his mama could make something like this.
Click on the pictures to see them larger.
 
Hard for me to get a picture of the whole quilt by myself.


 
 
 
 
 
 
I know a lot of pictures. I took so many pictures I couldn't decide
how many to show and which ones.
 

 
I was inspired by Lisa at http://thatcrazyquiltgirl.blogspot.com
I didn't have a pattern, just looked at the one Lisa made.
Two layers of batting and Glide thread (love that thread).
I needed something modern for my son and I thought the quilting designs
looked like tribal tattoos.
 
 
 
If you have not figured it out yet, his shop is ICON Tattoo and Body Piercing
in Nashville, TN.  He and his guys put as much love and pride in their art as we do in ours.
I think the two arts are very similar, we both see our art lasting forever. 
Thanks for stopping by

  7. Beautiful. Hey, do you use a longarm or tabletop? I can certainly see the similarities between their art form and ours.
