Woohoo! A few finishes this week...
A pillow for a friend.
A slip cover for our glider rocker (I'd take a picture, but it's 40 degrees in the living room, so I might freeze!).
A quilt!
This quilt has been several years in the making, and several permutations. I've been collecting music fabrics, primarily in black and white, for my musical older sister. Originally, I had a crazy idea to replicate a page of sheet music, preferably one of my sister's favorites... but lots of these music fabrics were not going to fit the bill for that. Then, last year, I took part in Judy Laquidara's monochromatic challenge. Every month, until December, I made table runners. By the time the black, white, and ???, rolled around, I was tired to table runners, so I opted for this quilt... I had been wanting to make a D9P quilt for a while, and now? Now, I'm SO over that. Why? This just didn't quite look the way I thought it would.
Not looking like I thought it would does not, thank goodness, mean I don't like the quilt. I love the piano key border, the musical fabrics, the backing pieced out of leftovers... but in a much more organized way than I usually piece leftovers. You can't quite see it in the picture, but there is a tiny red flange between the body of the top and the border, and it's bound in red. I also quilted it in record time (for me), four hours, start to finish, including breaks for making supper and bathing the kiddos.

I don't know how you imagined it, Katie, but it's great. Love it!

Like that very much, it is balanced and I love the way you pieced the backing
