Batik Quilt - Done!

I had this great plan that I would sew like a maniac and finish a whole quilt while the boys were at my sister's.  Yah.  But it didn't quite work that way, what with all the time I spent watching TV and eating bon-bons.  (Just kidding!)

The very morning the boys left, I lost a contact down the drain.  Yah, sure, I took the drain apart, and found it... in pieces.  And had to break out my back-up glasses.  And helloooo?  The 80's called, and they'd like those frames back.  That was the era of big hair, big shoulders, and big glasses.  Lovely.  I dug deeper and found one, lone, ancient contact lens.  Not sure if it was even the right lens (my eyes are different) I popped it in and headed for the eye doc, feeling like Mr. Magoo.  Long story short, I just picked up my new contacts AND new glasses.  (Thanks, honey, it's been a spendy week :D)

Meanwhile, during the interim I really wasn't seeing quite clearly, and just sitting and sewing for hours on end made my head spin.  (Well, that might happen regardless... right?)  But I finally finished, and...

Wa-wah!

This is just the top, before I quilted it.  I spared no expense on my display apparatus ;D

And, here it is, quilted and bound.

I backed it with... (*gasp*)... a turquoise sheet.  (Purists, don't judge.)

I love the big yellow stars :D

I didn't really have a clear vision for how I wanted to quilt it, *ahem*, so we'll call the quilting "organic" and "modern", rather than crooked, okay?

And there are all kinds of little oopsies, like this thread loop.  Maybe a couple more runs through the wash will wiggle that around.  Or maybe not.

And just for fun... a view from the back before I quilted it.  Love the stained glass effect.

Some people are really brilliant at coming up with clever names for the quilts they make, but I'm at a loss, here.  Seasonal Affective Disorder Antidote doesn't really have the snappy wit I'm looking for, y'know?  I'm just glad it's finished!
