i mean, what's not to love about those haphazard flying geese and that trendy baby boy colorway. i must admit, it was super hard to part with.
and then there's the back, in a complementary charcoal batik from alison glass's handcrafted collection. so. much. pretty. coincidentally, anna over at noodlehead posted a skirt made from this same fabric last week. i think i may need to make a margot sized version with the little bit that i have left.
i trimmed it out in a black and white stripe, which i love every time i see it in other quilts (which is all of the time, because it's mad popular these days). i'm glad i went through with it, because i almost chickened out at the last minute, partially out of fear and partially because i cut my first bias tape wrong (don't ask, it was terribly sad...). but i did it, and it's awesome.
gah! i miss it already. but, alas, it's gone to a good home.
and, at least i have lots of extra fabric left in my stash. be prepared to see these fabrics popping up in lots of future projects.
and yes, that is an abacus. who needs a quilt rack.
