wrinkly

0707_renee_quilt_front

I finished the baby quilt! In this case my sense of accomplishment emphasizes the "finished" part. As I mentioned before, I don't think this object is an example of my best work. But it was fun, and it was practice, and it will be durable. I loved taking the quilt out of the dryer and seeing it all textured and whole. For me the washing process makes things "real" and "done". I think this is especially true in the case of a quilt. It changes from being a sandwich of fabrics and batting to being an organic whole with an integral texture. The back has a whimsical print (label in upper right corner)
