My First Full Sized Quilt

I have been working on a quilt for Matt's room. He inherited our old blue comforter when we gave him the queen bed last year (or maybe two years ago?) It is getting pretty shabby so I decided to make him a quilt. I took him to Hobby Lobby and let him choose the colors. He picked out three shades of blues, greens, browns and red/oranges. It will have a tan border. I think it is going to be really pretty.  

Here I am cutting apart the pieces for the hourglass pieces.













Sewing the color borders to the center hourglass.
The finished blocks.
Here are the pieces all laid out on his bed so I could choose the block layout.


Here it is "finish-ed" with the tan border, laid over a chair.
