quilting
(quilting means you sew through multiple layers, i used thin batting)
matt and christina holding the finished project:
back of the quilt:
also, i saw the MOST amazing quilts recently . i think i would want one of these
as a wedding/anniversary present some day . they seem perfect for that .
the designer (who was also trained as an architect) designs these large quilts
that are based on neighborhood maps (she calls them "soft maps") i think they are
really interesting, beautiful and subtle .

i made the mistake of showing them to my mom who freaked out about how my little
bro, who is applying to architecture programs will be unemployed. oh mom...
anyways, very cool:
