Done

I spent last Sunday quilting despite the usual threatened distractions. (Whispering: I think I am addicted to the computer. I stop what Im doing every 15 minutes to run in here and see what you're all doing ) I started  a quilt top the week before last from leftover Kashmir mainly because I was trying to ignore the pinwheel quilt. I am never working with pastels again.

Part of the quilting process involved trying to find backing for said quilt.  I don't love pastels so of course I had nothing. But I couldn't buy anything because these are "the months of living frugally" until Mr. P finds work again.  Then inspiration struck.  I'm the queen of chenille. Just as a side note I bought some batting this year that I ultimately didn't like a lot and that stuff is just lasting FOREVER - whats up with that ? It feels like I've batted 43 quilts with it. I only bought enough for two queen sized quilts ... 

Anyway "Kashmir 2  " is finished. I threw it in the washer and dryer and "crinkled "it.   Now here's where it gets interesting. I love this quilt.  And yet it's the same fabric as the pinwheel quilt which I think we all know I don't like.

Here's the back. Gorgeous pink chenille.

Here's the front...

See how different it looks without all that daggy white? I should have done this in the first place. I love this quilt. Too bad it's a gift and I have to give it away.


P.S. I don't want to talk about the pinwheel quilt...
