After All These Months

After all these months, the train quilt is finished, one day before Aaron's birthday.

In retrospect, it probably wasn't the best idea to use the dishcloths in the pretty colors for the train car backgrounds. I fused them on interfacing, which makes them kind of stiff and makes the quilt heavy. Or, maybe I should have just fused around the edges. The cloths make wonderful burp cloths, but for a whole quilt, not so much. The colors make a great background, though, and a four-year-old isn't a quilt judge.
