Just a happy story

Do you remember a little more than a year ago when I made Puss in Bonnets for an expected grand niece? The quilt was purrfect until I washed it and the batik backing turned everything (including the zebra striped kitty, the washing machine drum and my kitchen counter) a rowdy pink. No telling how many hours I'd spent appliquéing kitty ears, paws and tails and the bleeding pink just nearly killed me. Happy ending here. Puss in Bonnets and baby are a year old now. Neither baby nor quilt are covered in hot pink dye. Baby loves quilt. Covers up with it, tells Daddy, "night-night" and closes her sleepy eyes. Just no feeling like getting to hug and comfort a baby and of course, especially the needy little ones. Polly

Awww that's lovely! The baby knows whats important in a quilt - not the colour but the love that went into making it.

Awwww. Thanks, Sunny. I don't suppose you are jumping to the conclusion that I've reformed and now pre-wash everything? Nope. Nosiree. Some folks just never learn. And FWIW, after only being washed once or twice a day for a year, the quilt is finally the original colors. Almost. Except for the delicate pink glaze. Polly

And the delicate pink glaze is what makes the quilt so special. Are you sure you never intended that to happen Polly?
