Anyway, I wanted to take a pic of this by the pool (I thought that'd be cool considering the name) but I was too afraid the poor thing would fall in and then I'd be shot waiting for it to dry out. LOL I do love it! I used colors way serene for my normal "wild" taste, but it makes me feel calm. Let me show you all the pic I took tonight. I was only going to post a few, but what the heck???
That one was with the sun filtering through the trees.......so here is another big one of the front with my husband standing in the sun. Maybe that will show it better???
Then, of course, I do my normal close-ups:
And another one from in the house showing truer colors:
I shouldn't even show you the back since this is not one of my better ones.
Did you see my shadow?? Eikes!! Anyway, the name of this pattern was "In and Out" by Blue Underground. According to the instructions, it was supposed to be 77x91" finished. I changed mine (so what else is new, huh?) so mine ended up at 54x68". The perfect size for a nice nap quilt. Don't you think???

Your quilts are all beautiful. I'm working on I think my fourth quilt. It's back from the quilter. I'm scalloping the edges. It's a present for my SIL who was just ordained as a pastor. She moved into a parsonage 170 mi from my brother, so they are maintaining dual residences. Nothing new for them - it was the other way around for years as he worked away from home prior to his retirement. She was working part time as a pastor and her other job before she was ordained. Whew! So, I thought a quilt would be a perfect gift - a labor of love - something she can't buy.
You have such wonderful ideas. I love your color choices. You are inspiring me to try something different for backs on my upcoming quilts. Thank you very much for sharing your creations with the rest of us.
Hugs from a newbie quilter!
