"Split Infinitive," before washing. 31" x 27"
Those triangles finish at 1.5", and I think I've finally used up all the pieces from my polka dot charmlet packs (I did have to dig into my stash -- and Jacquie's, just before she moved -- to find additional big dots so I could alternate rows of big and small, but only for a handful). Playing with the layout was fun, and using random widths on the borders throws it a little more off kilter.
The name? Well, I've been on a bit of a grammar kick lately. Friends I went to school with, who learned the same lessons I did are using "it's" instead of "its," "there" instead of "they're," and "your" instead of "you're," in their Facebook posts (I'm not a Twitter person -- nobody's life is that interesting that I have to be wired in to their up-to-the-minute details) which makes me CRAZY. I realize that many of them are writing on tiny keyboards and miniscule phone screens without the aid of (at our advanced age) reading glasses, but seriously, people, if you're going to rely on Autocorrect, then you really need to edit yourself before you hit "post" so you don't look like a total moron!
I'm just saying.
But I digress.
I actually don't take offense at the occasional split infinitive, and have been prone to consciously use one when "to use one consciously" sounds a wee bit awkward.
Anyway, the name came to me as the two sections hung on the design wall/batting-clamped-to-a-picture-frame, and stuck.
Backing continues the theme with a flannel dot, and the swirly binding mixes it up a little.
Happy to have another finish, no matter how small!

I like the quilt, I like the name, and I like the garden setting for the photos!
The quilt (and its name) are awesome. And yes, I did have to edit my comment because I accidentally used "it's" when I meant to say "its".
That is such a wonderful quilt. Love the layout you ended up with and the colors are fantastic. You are really on a roll these days.
Fabulous! Just found you through In Color Order.
