I wasn't kidding on Wednesday when I said this quilt was going to have glamour shots taken. I almost wish I could have staged an amazing 80s glamour set, but this quilt is a bit too modern for that kind of foolishness.

WIP Wednesday: On my bind
After auditioning tons of fabrics from my stash for the binding of the baby D chevron quilt (that just weren't quite right), I found these sweet little red polka dots hiding in the corner of my closet.

I can't decide if I should have the thread color contrast with the fabric or if I should match it and keep the focus more on the chevrons … [Read more...]
