A quilt with a surprise!
 
2 Attachment(s)
I started this quilt for a friend's seven-year-old daugther, Taylor. Partway into it, I remembered that my wife had some glow-in-the-dark fabric from last year's Halloween. At first I thought about putting in just a few strips of it in - then I had a brainstorm. I planned and planned, then I had it. The quilt top is shown below. Then, below that, is the surprise. I still need to go back and correct a few errors I made because I was in such a hurry to see how this looked completed.

Davena 10-19-2015 05:35 AM

Wow , Amazing job, I was not aware of glow in the dark material. I will have to see if it is available here in Ontario. Canada. I am not sure , but is the name put on the back of the quilt? and also how long did you have to have it in the light to glow in the dark. Did it just do it by being in the regular day light ?... Taylor, is a very lucky child, and will treasure your beautiful quilt you made her. Happy Quilting, Davena
