I wanted pale colors for the backing of Thinking Of Snow. I found them in a plaid and floral print, with pinks and blues.
It was so warm today, I had my door open as I tacked my quilt. I can’t say I was thinking of snow, but I did get to listen the songs of lots of birds as I worked.
The sun shone in my door and window late in the afternoon lighting up the back of the quilt so the front showed through it.
As I tacked the quilt I pulled loose threads and got to see again some of the details. I loved the butterfly in the section above. And below, that thin strip of blue and the white fabric with flowers came from an old handmade apron. The white print was a pocket.
I tied a knot in the tacking yarn, because it seemed there should be a dot in that spot not a dash.
I’m a little more than half done tacking Thinking of Snow. I’ll finish the quilt on Monday.
Such gentle and soft colors – beautiful quilt. I love how the light plays up Fate’s gray, black and white. Mellow and muted in a way like the quilt.
That’s a nice comparison Barb.
