The quilt in the background has a sad history. The top was made and the quilt about 1/3 hand quilted, when my good friend (creator of the quilt) died. Her husband gave me her partially finished quilts, quilt rack, and patterns. The back of the quilt is like a checkerboard -- a very difficult quilt to finish. I love the way she put the colors together. Her "trademark" was that she always had some pin dot fabric somewhere in the quilt. I found some that matched and used it for binding.
