So I think we're calling this simply K--'s quilt. The working title was "lipstick" but really, it's her "NYC Dreams" quilt I think and that's what I put on the label. It is another iteration of
Millie's Quilt and Miss N's quilt. I do think it's cute that she wanted a quilt so similar to the one that's been in our family room for ages. It's exactly the same as her big sis's college quilt - but in her pinks and reds.
I labeled it today and when she got home from school, I wrapped her in a big hug and tried not to cry! We do have a summer with her yet!

| The grey is antique kimono silk |

| All Japanese linen - love the polka dots! |

| The pink is a chirimen print. The grey is a textured fabric bought at the Tokyo Quilt Festival. |

| I used monofilament thread in the needle for the quilting. It disappears nicely, but did show on this dark batik. |
