Mustard and Ketchup Sleeps Good

We took my newest quilt down from the Quilt Show and had it on the bed that evening!  It was just the perfect weight for these not too cold evenings.  It was an Augusta Cole pattern called Snaps and Stars and the the 16 patch centers have some of my scraps from almost 20 years of quilting...and lots from friends (Mrs Goodneedle donated a bunch of square already cut...gotta love that)  We only had one quilt large enough for the queen mattress so now we have two!  I can already imaging playing eye spy next year with a little one...as we laze around on a Sunday morning before church.  Go Postal won't sleep in on Saturday...much to my dismay the alarm clock still goes off at 5am.  And the name...well he prefers mustard on everything...I am a ketchup girl.  I collected these mustard fabrics on a trip to Mid Atlantic a few years back and love this Kona red!!  Banjo would look lovely on this quilt too...but don't think I will ever convince GP to share the bed with a cat.

It does look great on your bed! I think you should pose Banjoon it for a photo though even if he won't be aloowed to sleep there.
