Hey that looks familiar! Just like that header up there! Only more of it! And all together.
I decided not to machine quilt this one, mainly because I've been cold at night and I want a new blanket. I'm tying it with what I sincerely hope are square knots. I guess I'll find out the first time I wash it.
And getting back to work on this has also made me come to terms with the fact that I really hate my bed. And I'm not going to be able to buy a new bed for a long time.
I love my quilt and I want to put it on a bed I love, so I need to find a cheap fix. I'm thinking sandpaper and paint, probably. If anyone has some inspiration, please give me advice.

what is it about your bed you dislike?
well, several things:
- it's a sleigh bed and it's a foot too long for any standard mattress. so our mattress just s.l.o.w.l.y. scoots down the bed over time.
- it's big and heavy and dark, and parts of it look like wood but are actually metal. secret metal to bash in your shins in the dark.
- we don't have box springs, we have an ikea mattress sitting on boards, so it's weird and creaky.
i'm feeling like a pretty ungrateful friend at the moment, since actually the bed was a gift from friends, when we had no bed, and it is much much better than sleeping on the floor. so thanks guys!
i suck.
