Done!

I finally finished my brother's Grateful Dead quilt. Here's the front...

And the back...

I tend to just use whatever material I have available to make the backing, and since I was short on time, this backing is very simple.

My long-arm quilting machine gave me fits with changing tension each time I had to swap out the bobbin thread, so there were some places where the stitching was loose and messy. I tried going over those spots with my reliable Singer Heavy Duty short arm machine, but found that without having the quilt on the rack, I couldn't create circles. Instead I just hand-stitched in the places that needed repair. Now I'm off to find a box to ship the quilt in.
