The top really was in wonderful condition and needed very little mending. I chose to create a back that was a bit more contemporary but still paid homage to the spools on the front.
Gray is my favorite neutral these days and I love how calm the back is in contrast to the busy front. It is really two quilts in one- which is the way I tend to make most of my quilts. I love choices.
After finishing up Vintage Spool's photo shoot I took my husband to see a nest that I had found the week before when trimming our bushes. It was really interesting in that it had a layer of plastic wrappers woven within it. On this visit, I found something even more interesting though- three eggs! Not wanting to spook the parents we only peeked a moment. Once inside the house I came to realize that I had a wonderful "bird's eye" view from my daughter's bedroom. Check it out:
Isn't she beautiful? I had seen a Cardinal pair hanging out in our neighborhood but never dreamed they were living so near. I'll keep you posted as to any new developments.
