[ bellow ]

This is the replacement piece for my new washing machine. It's called a bellow, and I am guessing it's pretty important. Notice it is still in the box.
That's because I finished my quilt, BEFORE my washer was fixed.
I love it so much it hurts. I quilted it using straight lines. Double lines running up an down and then a single line going sideways. I wanted the emphasis to be on the fabric and not on the quilting.
The back is all this phenomenal navy polka dot. Jumbo polka dot. My heart it starts palpitating.

I even made an executive decision to hand sew the binding. It's look so much better than machine binding, but takes much more time.

This one is staying here with my boys.

My washer was fixed a few hours ago. Just in time to spend an entire weekend catching up on dirty laundry.

Lucky me !
