Are You Kidding?

There's No Place Like Home is what I decided to call hanna's 1st Year Miami of Ohio quilt.   I actually have another quilt by that name, but so what, it works on this one too.

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!
