marimekko quilt

a small, only almost-tiny quilt that I finished last week. as is often the case with my quilting projects, the original idea was different (much smaller, no pleats, more patchworking), but i like it when my ideas are allowed to evolve as I go along.

so here's a small quilt, made from leftover marimekko bed linen fabrics that ended up in my stash. it has three pleats that show the pattern from the back when unfolded, and is wonderfully puffy thanks to the fine percale cotton fabric of the top.

it's fun and just large enough to put over my knees while sitting on the couch.
