the quilt



This is the gorgeous quilt my mother-in-law bestowed upon me today, during our Easter visit. She informs me that it was begun about 40 years ago and that it is a patchwork of fabric from Alex's and his sister's childhood clothes. I LOVE IT! The colors are vibrant, the fabric is funky, and the overall effect is eclectic and cheerful. It significantly brightens our guest room/office.









Kitter certainly finds it cozy:
