The Mr Hearts the Quilt!

Last December the Mr and I celebrated out 12th Wedding Anniversary.

 
To mark the occassion and, well, to justify spending money on fabric, I started making this quilt.

12 years, I am told through my Google searching, is traditionally gifted with Linen, so I have bordered the anniversary quilt with some cream colored linen, which I may do some freeform, hand quilting on at some point.

Last night, when Brisbane experienced a bit of Autumnal weather, the Mr retreated to the bedroom to read his book, and pull up the quilt.

It is a bit of a girly quilt, I gotta admit, but he (suprisingly)loves it, and it is a perfect weight for Brisbane winter.

Will get out and take some better pictures in the morning light once the binding is all completed!
