Detta är Dagen

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Do the math.

1 rainy day + 1 amazing husband watching the children all day long + 1 heart inspired by the awesome sewing group in Korea + (0 laundry done + 0 dishes done + 0 nap time) = 1 finished quilt! :)



Above, the quilt is on Will's bed. Below is a picture of it on my bed so you can see it full-size. If you look in the old pictures that I posted last time (from 2007), you'll see that the final quilt is only half the size of the one I originally pieced. That's because at some very discouraged point during the 4 years it took to finish this thing, I realized that if it were full size, it would not only never fit my son's bed, but I would never get the quilting done on it. So my genius husband suggested that I chop it in half and make it the proper size for our boy's bed. Wonderful solution! What would I do without my man?!

True enough about the genius man, but I'd like to comment on the genius of the one who thought it out and built it. Very nice job, my girl!
