Leaf Peeping - The Quilt

Leaf Peeping 

is finished!

(back story HERE)

Quilted by Chris Ballard

(illuminated in these photos by cold winter sunshine

reflecting off frozen icy slush)

I used leftover 1.5" strips of KF shirt stripes fabric

to piece the binding strips.

Not sure I would want to make a habit of this,

but it did work!

Chris used my much-loved Waterworld panto

and a warm golden thread.

I'm sure the daffodils will also be glad to see 

our unusual layer of frozen precipitation melt away!

In the meantime, 

I couldn't resist the icy backdrop

for this photo shoot.

(yes, our dormant grass really is khaki color this time of year)

And yes, even though I took these photos late last week,

our ground is once again coated with the icy covering this morning.

I love the texture . . . 

the colors . . . 

the design . . . 

and the scrappiness . . .

Bottom line?

I just LOVE the whole quilt!!
