quilted

I finished the quilting on my taking-forever paintbox on Thursday;

the binding is going to have to wait until it gets cooler.

much cooler!

simple diagonal straight-line quilting with a curlicue border

I added a word, because I just have to...

the back does have some puckers,
but not nearly as many as this picture would have you believe.

I'm thinking this may be my Gramma's Christmas present;

she used to paint, so the 'paintbox' is appropriate.

She loves bright colors,

and she gets awful chilly in the winter.

I think she'd like snuggling under this and watching her tele.

And she loves me enough

that she won't mind my puckers and mistakes.

Yeah, 

I think this one's Gramma's.

getting there

hmm - I should have ironed before snapping a picture,
ya think?!

Not surprisingly,

given how the rest of this quilt has gone,

the back doesn't look

anything

like what I had intended
when I first set out to make it.

But I'm happy with it all the same.

I used the same dark gray sheet

for my border on the front, too.

Wonder how long it'll take me to get it quilted??
