I actually finished this top BEFORE I left for Quilt Camp last week. I was afraid the pieces would get mixed up and out-of-order if I dismantled it and took it down to transport it to Quilt Camp. I just knew the blocks would get out of order, and it would be a disaster waiting to happen.
It's been a remarkably difficult quilt top to photograph, as the colors don't usually show true to life. This is as close as I've seen it (minus the flecks of sunlight on the lower left quadrant).
This way, I had something for show-and-share. And I could hand it off to my mom so she could do her share ... which is to get a backing, and get it quilted. I'll probably wind up doing the binding before next summer.
We'll plan on having it done by next August when my sister comes for her annual visit from Japan. Then we don't have to spend $150 (or more) just to mail it to her. Postage is crazy to Japan!
