And that means mom busily trying to get this quilt completed & out of the way so our 8 year old does not spy it before his birthday rolls around.
The borders are sewn on and as I step back I am hit with the thought that this quilt is also quite busy, busy, busy! Okay. It's really busy, busy, busy! I will add a dark gray-almost-black binding to frame the busy-ness of this quilt. Keep everything intact. Otherwise it looks like these planes will take off and never return.

Hey- my boy quilts turn out busy too. He will love it and that is what counts. I think you did a great job coordinating the colors on this one. Good luck on not getting spied. Check your email, as I will be sending you a message shortly. ;) My guy is home sick today, so I am home, too. Kind of nice to get to rock him for a change.
It is busy, but it's also fun and energetic. Perfect for a little boy. I do agree with you on the border, those planes might just take off without it. Such a fun quilt, I really like the way it turned out.
I think a busy quilt is appropriate for a busy boy. Great job - I particularly like the way you used the striped fabric.
What a wonderful quilt for a special boy! I'm sure he will love it. You did a great job with the fabric selection. I need to get busy with some of unfinished quilts. ~Adrienne~
Busy - but oh so fun!!! He will love it. The colors coordinate great too - you did an EXCELLENT job!!

This quilt is wonderful! I bet he loves it! Best to you on getting it finished without his seeing. If I finished a project like that before summer vacation, it would sure make me feel accomplished and proud!
Have I remembered to tell you that I love your blog? *smiling*
Oh! I think that quilt is just FANTASTIC! I am sure your son will love it.
It's little boy perfect! He's gonna love it.
Love the quilt! He is going to enjoy it for years to come. I love the plane fabric. I always tend to go with darker bindings too as they tend to be handled more frequently. Which obviously means they dirty faster. If it is dark it isn't so noticeable. Anything for less laundry!
What a GREAT quilt !!! Your son is gonna LOVE it !!!
this is a wonderful quilt top. Love all the boy things in it and the colors.
