Junkyard

Last night, after my Punk should have been in bed, I was sewing the last stitches of binding. She was so excited about her new quilt, that I had to finish it before I tucked her in.

After auditioning many bindings (including several black and white prints), I finally went for an extra hit of colour and bound the quilt in more orange.

It's pretty heavy. My husband didn't want to hold it up for long.

When he dropped it I got a shot of the vintage sheet backing.

My Punk is thrilled with her new quilt. It stayed on the bed long enough for a few pictures, and then I think it became a Baby Burrito Wrapper.

The Punk was so excited about all the colours that she didn't want to lay down for sleep last night. I let her sit up for about ten minutes so she could admire all the eyeball-searing brightness.

This quilt will be very loved for many years to come.

It feels very good to finish. Now, I'm going to pick another WIP and complete it....

    She is going to have that quilt til the colours fade with age and use, so I think it's perfect.
