Years ago, when Aaron and Christa were living in the Portland area and he was going to optometry school, he made a quilt. I had completely forgotten about it. But he was going through some things awhile back and found it. It was only the quilt top and he wanted to know if it could be finished.
He had done an excellent job of piecing--the top was all flannel, which is not always the easiest to keep nice and straight.
I was happy to take on the project. It mainly involved piecing together a backing and then handing it over to Halene for quilting.
I had some California-themed fabric that I had never found a use for, along with some Portland bridges and a California state panel. To finish it out I had some other travel-related fabric that I added to the sides. 
He didn't know I was finishing it for his birthday so it was a fun surprise.
