It has ONE breakable ornament (a glass heart) on it. Which I made Wonderful Husband put up high, out of Jazzy's reach. Good thing too, as he's already pulled off a dozen of the wooden ornaments within his reach zone.
I took the Autumn Colors quilt with me to dinner at my parents' this evening and started hand-stitching the binding down on the back.
And after we came home, I pulled out Niecelet's mermaid quilt top and the fabric I had set aside for a backing... and discovered the backing fabric was 36" wide, not 42". Argh! So I had to cut and piece a 7" strip into the center. But, hey, I took the opportunity to piece the label into the quilt back so it can't be removed without cutting a hole in the quilt. And this uses up some of my "free" fabric - the (gorgeous) main backing I got at Costume College in the $5 garbage bag full sale, and the (pretty) strip came from an estate sale last weekend where I got something like 9 yards for $3.
Tomorrow, I baste the mermaid quilt, quilt it, and ponderificate binding fabric. And take Autumn colors with me to Jazzy's speech therapy to work on there.
Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Jazzy may or may not have said his first word! Thanksgiving day, he several times indicated he wanted an apple with either "a-pa" or "a-pu." And he's also asked for an "ana" (banana). Hooray for progress! *happy mummy dance*
