Wool wonder
Here's a newly acquired quilt. It reminded me of Sujata's solid squares quilt so I took it home with me. It was made to be used. It's wool. There is some order to it, and then again, there's not. I think that is why I like it.
The oatmeal-color wool has a lot of texture. Notice that the embroidery floss tie colors vary. Some are red and some are white.
And what about the surprise border! It's red and light green.
This quilt measures 65" x 72". The rows are ~3" wide. The backing is a great homespun.

Hmmm, I like it! It must be itchy, though?
