This was a really different quilt for me — more like the table toppers I make than my quilts. To me, the Polartec fleece batting makes it a feel a little more like a comforter than a quilt, but that’s probably a good thing. The old Everglaze chintz for the backing has been in my closet for ages, and I’m glad I finally found a good use for it. I just hope the person who receives the quilt isn’t put off by all the wild prints (for a view of the entire top, click here).
I didn’t have to buy any fabric for this quilt — even the binding was a leftover from Shirley Temple’s Halloween outfit. It always pleases me when I don’t have to make a trip to the fabric store.
