This is the orientation the new owner decided on. I like leaving that choice up to the buyer.
And so, I created and affixed my maker's mark, something that I haven't bothered with since the second baby quilt. Somehow, this one called for it.
Right up until this second, I had the horrors that I'd spelled something wrong. Leaving off the date was deliberate.
A little note about the backing cloth.
'99? At the OHCO fabric warehouse, a man driving a bobcat with a snowplow attached was pushing piles of fabric around on the concrete floor. A length of this was trailing from under the pile. I grabbed it up before the tracks could damage it. Five or six yards of sixty-inch jacquard weave of unknown content or provenance. It's grand stuff.
Here I am all patting myself on the back for finishing, but I forgot to find out whether or not she wants a sleeve for hanging. Doh!

What an interesting story about fabric being shoveled with a snow plow! I am glad you saved it! I really like the label.
