My FIRST commisioned quilt !

Did that sound fancy....I'm really not some elite quilter and got this fantastic commission for a quilt. Nope I'm just me....and a childhood friend asked me to make it for her 3 year old grandson....I was nervous and also excited to get started. So I posted the beginning of this quilt a while back in September and wanted to show you the finished product.
It is my first I - SPY quilt and my first commisioned quilt !!!  YIKES !

If you know me you know my backs are never boring....
My Sister says she almost always likes the backs better than the fronts.
This is a Wonky Back I was trying to make it look like WONKY PIPES !
I used the Dinosaur uproar and Leapin Lizards collections for the back
I just love the binding I believe it is from the Dinosaur Uproar line

That quilt is cool! I am sooo digging the back.

I made my first commissioned quilt this year too and was nervous/excited to give it to my customer. Feels good when they like it though!

Congratulations on your first commissioned quilt. Love how colorful and playful it is! The back is a lot of fun, too. I would say it works as a two sided quilt - two for one...
