My Not so Negative Quilt came out of the wash in lovely riot of wrinkles, I wish I thought of my own wrinkles that way.
Since my shocking discovery, of only one finished quilt in 2012, I'm determined to complete some of my many, many works in progress. Having started this quilt in November 2010....I was almost giddy pulling it out of the dryer this morning.
I used some of the blocks in several of my QAYG tutorials so it might look a little familiar to some of you.
I just couldn't resist photographing it beside my tulips (an all time fovourite flower of mine) .
Feeling in a mellow mood, I actually did the binding by hand....giving it that last little bit of loving. But in all honesty, I'm so slow it will be back to machine binding after this.
Your quilt is lovely -- such beautiful colors. It reminds me of flat fields of flowers.

Great first finish of the year. I am in the same boat with many projects at many stages of completion. I too love the soft wrinkly feel of a newly laundered quilt. Happy snuggling.
