It’s the first day of a long weekend! Most of it will be spent getting two Airbnbs ready for weekend football fans, but there will be time for other things, too. I have some errands to run, a Christmas inventory to do, and making the binding for my quilt!
The light in the Garden Room was perfect this morning! These are all pretty true color-wise (at least on my monitor).
I chose ORANGE thread for top & bottom. The quilting pattern is called SPLAT — it reminded me of the floral-ish shapes from the set of The Dating Game, which aired in the ’60s. So it’s floral-ish, which is a nod to the Kaffe Fasset fabrics, but also gave me a groovy vibe, which I also get from the backing fabric. It was in the ’60s when Fassett moved to London and his creative life really began to bloom. I dunno, it all came together in my head & gelled in about 2 seconds, standing there in the quilt shop, and seemed to work.
FEELING GROOVY!!
Squeeee!! I’m so in love with it and can’t wait to throw it on the bed!

The Dating Game is a perfect reference! Well done!
This is as lovely and bright as I hoped and the Dating Game quilting pattern is perfect. I bet the bedroom will look brighter and your bed might even feel warmer with those colors!
I love it! And “splat” is such a great name for that pattern!
That quilt is stunning! And I adore the backing fabric that you chose, too!
