Playtime is Finished!

As I mentioned yesterday, I finished sewing the purple squares on the Playtime quilt last night.  Here is the final finished quilt.  The story of how this quilt came about is in this post.

The back, as well as a closeup of the quilting on the back:

The threads I used were YLI Jewel in the bobbin and Coats & Clark #'s 810 (purple variegated) and 826 (yellow variegated) on the top.

On a pet note, Maya decided that Echo needed a bath this weekend.  He allowed her to thoroughly wash him from front to back and even rubbed his head on hers and moved closer when she took a break.  He's such a kook.  He looked like he had a really bad hairdo for quite awhile afterwards and he was also a bit crunchy.

This little quilt is stunning! I really like how you did the quilting. Is this an original pattern? I've not seen anything like it before.
