sunshine on a cloudy day {a plaid finish}

My husband suggested I call this one "Tennis Ball," but the Temptations' lyric just seemed much more fitting for this neon-bound gray plaid ;)

Our daughter recently started daycare, a milestone I'm using as an excuse opportunity to build up her "nap time blanket stash" (that's a thing, right?)  And building up it needs indeed; this brings the {teeny} tally to just three finished quilts, as her amethyst quilt (number four) has been caught in the queue since February (eep!).

The plaid square measures 42" (pattern available here).

The back is both fancy and not fancy.  Fancy because it's Anna Maria Horner's field study linen in ghost wing.  <3.

Not fancy because—in an uncharacteristic (yet perhaps what will become a recurring) move—I used a single piece of fabric for the back.

Loving the little bit of light radiating from the binding (Michael Miller's neon yellow, a purchase that was no doubt inspired by Cath of wombat quilt's electrified PP'd star).  I highly recommend it for anyone looking for that extra glow-in-the-dark-ish je ne said quoi.  Sidebar:  it bleeds.  Lots.  So be sure to wash!

Now off to finish that loveliness hanging out in the background...
