Well, we chose the quilt names!
We’ve been looking at the Bureau of Meteorology radar map a lot recently, and having said that putting this quilt on the bunk was like bringing in the sun, it came to me. Mine’s Sunny Intervals and his is Scattered Showers.
I asked the Husband if he wanted quiet grey sashing on his, or the same colourful stuff as on mine. To my considerable surprise, he wants the colourful sashing, wanted to be sure he was getting the colourful backing, and had some very useful opinions to offer on updating the layout of the blocks for his quilt. I’m so proud! The Husband has become a proper Quilter’s Husband! Anyway, with mine finished, I decided I couldn’t wait to instal it in VanEssa, and I’m so glad I did. The sun is definitely shining in there now! I found the two pillowcases that went with the original duvet cover, a little faded from all the washing but still vivid.
And His Lordship the Mouse-dog has finally condescended to check out his new quarters. Initially he was a little fazed by the height of the steps, since she’s parked on a downward slope, but once up, he went straight to his floof and lay down. And then refused to come out. So I guess VanEssa has received the seal of approval. He certainly likes his grey and black ombre fluffly rugs.
Tomorrow I have to cut batting squares for the Husband’s quilt (the backing squares are done already), and then I can start quilting again.
I still can’t believe he wants the bright sashing… Fantastic!
