"Dancing In The Moonlight" - the Journey Continues...

This quilt has already had quite the journey in its short life.  Originally I 'thought' it was destined to be one of 'my quilts', it soon became apparent that was not to be.

Have you ever just known you were supposed to create a quilt?  And even though you kind of thought it was going to be for you, and you really liked it, events begin to transpire that soon reveal 'who' the quilt is actually supposed to be for?  That sums up this quilt's destiny so far...

Originally planned to be quilted over the Holidays in 2018, life and other things happened along this quilt's journey, and it ended up languishing for several months, prior to coming back through the 'quilt queue' to finally be quilted:

 The variegated thread brings an unique/additional element to this neat quilt.  Unfortunately, my camera doesn't do this thread justice - reminds me of the 'Northern Lights', really striking!

Once bound/labeled, "Dancing In The Moonlight" will continue on its journey to its final destination - to the recipient who was 'always' destined to be the actual quilt owner ;-)

Hope you ALL had a Wonderful Thanksgiving!

"Dancing In The Moonlight" has been gifted to a very special person who it was ultimately created for...Enjoy!  (It doesn't go without notice that 'her name' is spelled exactly the same way as mine!)
