Finish It Up Friday - Space Ship Quilt

I shared the top finished  in this post. But now the small quilt for my great grandson is completely finished. I received a piece of batting from my granddaughter when she moved recently. She is not a quilter and I don't know where it came from, but it was the right size for this smallish quilt. It was quilted by my friend Marva Jo using a pantograph called Starstruck. It's perfect!

I had originally selected an orange minky for the back of this little comfort quilt, but when I say this flannel backing on a quilt on Katie Mae's blog, I was smitten. It's perfect. The colors are complementary and it's happy. Katie generously shared that she had purchased it at JoAnn's. They didn't have it at my local JoAnn's and it wasn't eligible for shipping to the store, but I ordered it anyway ( it was on sale) and paid the shipping. It is really nice quality. I finished the binding on Tuesday night watching This Is Us. 

I am really please with how this quilt turned out. I plan to make a coordinating pillow case to go with it. Our great grandson will have a birthday in September, so I will be ready! This UFO was the pick for my local quilt group, due to be done by our gathering on the 3rd Sunday in March. I'll make that goal too!
