Nat's Quilt

I love this mix of fabric. It's been the lock-screen on my phone for a couple of years. I snapped the photo in the store, but didn't buy the fabric right away.

When I finally purchased it, I just hung on to it waiting for the right project.

I finally finished this quilt for my friend, Natalie, who graduated high school two years ago. Yes, I was WAY behind on this project.

I also finally purchased these binding clips. I consistently stab my fingers when working with a pinned binding. They're great and no more blood!

Natalie is.....a great young woman. She's sarcastic, somewhat pessimistic and pragmatic. I recently went with her to see the stage production of West Side Story. As we walked in, she said she didn't even know what the story was about. I told it was basically Romeo & Juliet with music and two gangs that have a dance-off. At the end of the show, she commented how much she liked it, particularly the fact that Maria didn't kill herself over a boy. "Juliet was such an idiot!" And that's just one of the reasons why I love Natalie so much. She knows and speaks her mind. She loads of fun and I'm looking forward to seeing all the amazing things she'll do in life.
