Note to self: move lamp when taking picture of quilts
Even though I feel “finished” at various stages, really finished feels really different.
Of course there are things I would do differently, now that I see it bound, like make a narrow (1/4-inch) strip of the reddish brown after the check border to partner with the binding. And maybe less of the green around the Ohio Star. Maybe I can apply those observations when designing another quilt.
If you missed the close-up photos of the quilting, they are here.

Looks good to me!
Congratulations on the finish! Your golf quilt looks great and I love how it suits the bed! Thanks for visiting me at Sew Fresh Quilts and leaving a comment about the Flowers in the Sun quilt. Just wanted to let you know you are a no-reply blogger. Otherwise I would have responded by email to thank you.
Fantastic….bet you are thrilled to have it all done now…hugs Khris
Beautiful. I love the churn dash row. Congrats on your finish.
Note to Self: Steal golf quilt if you ever get to go across the country and visit Claire … LOL.
But seriously, that quilt is wonderful! Great finish.

I guess my comment got lost in cyberspace, but I love this quilt as is! It’s so creative and unique, and perfect for the bed.
Thanks for pulling the comment back from cyberspace (aka retyping it)! I don’t know when it finally occurred to me to design with the separation of mattress top and drop in mind. I’d made a couple bed quilts without paying any attention. And thanks to all for the good words.
Thank you for Linking Up to LAFF.
