It measures 45 X 58" - not very big, but then neither is she~
Close up of the quilting-
Here is an outdoor shot which shows the quilting well.
And the back
I used a variegated thread of light pink, medium pink and red. I really like it. It softened the red and wasn't too stark on the white. I used solid red for the cables on the border.
Here is the label. I attached it so it looked like a "M" for Miami.
The backing is 2 different pink. This first one is a vintage 1970's with quotes from "Laugh In" a comedy show that I used to love.
The other fabric is a breast cancer fabric with the words mother, daughter, sister, friend, etc.
The reason I titled this post "Are You Kidding' is because I had finished all the quilting when I realized that I had the backing upside down - seriously? I just had to laugh at myself.
We're off tomorrow at o-dark hundred to get Hanna home. Hanna asked me to bring the quilt to school as she's dying to finally see it. What a sweet girl!
