The quilt

My mom is an amazing quilter, she blows me away with her vision and talent. I have not had much color in my life so I asked her to make me a brightly colored quilt. Here are the results, it's just the top right now, we have to add the batting and the back and tie it, but isn't it just stunning?! I will treasure it forever.















Monkus loves it too.















And a closeup of some of the fabrics...8 came from a fabric store specifically for the quilt but all the rest came from fabrics she had around already. The very bright yellow that is scattered throughout and is also the triangles along the bottom edge was brought back for her from Africa by a friend.
















Next up? Curtains!

    What a treasure... and wonderfully colorful, as requested. And best is that it's already acquiring some cat hairs!
