Niecelet's Jacob's Ladder Quilt

We've been having Santa Ana winds here in SoCal, which makes taking good outdoor pictures... difficult.  Nonetheless!  I made Wonderful Husband hold Niecelet's quilt up in sunshine and shade for documentation purposes.  A couple of the pictures weren't too flappity...

The sunshine picture, above, makes the quilt look very bright, almost neon!  It did brighten up a touch after an Oxiclean soak, but not this much!

The shade picture, here, is closer to its actual colors.

Here it is laid across our bed to show off the size a bit better.  At 48"x60", it's a bit big for a one-year-old, but my hope is Niecelet will get a few years' use out of it.

And here, the binding, backing, and label.  The binding actually is about as bright as that top picture - it's a 1930s repro print that's been in my stash for years.  It looks like it's bias-cut but it's actually straight of grain.  Since I wanted a very narrow binding on the front, so as not to lose any more triangle points, I actually hand-stitched the binding the the back.  Not my usual modus operandi, for a few reasons... durability of baby/toddler quilts, time involved, RSI flares... take your pick.
