Once upon a time my daughter was obsessed with this raincoat. We went through a very long phase where she wore it constantly, rain or shine. I can't blame her, this is my all-time favorite Gymboree print and it inspired me with a vision for a quilt. Of course I'm me so it had to be pink and green: ) I had the perfect background, Sunday in the Park by Piece o' Cake, but only 1 yard so this would have to be a rather small quilt. If this ever comes back in print I will buy them out. It goes with everything! Then began an endless quest for the elusive, perfect pink gingham.
Many yards later and after carefully prepping all the appliques I started dragging this around while I hand appliqued the flowers and their centers. Then I moved on to hand quilting all those flowers and their centers. This quilt has been everywhere! More time passed and I got the binding on and hand tacked it down. Finally, finally this quilt was done!
Or is it? The more I look at it I think it needs more quilting. Maybe just some smaller flowers outlined in the open spaces... Do I keep quilting or declare it done?
