Here's a very first hand look into the creative world. I am within MOMENTS of finishing this piece. I've go the whole top sewn together, the overlay is laid out, pinned on, I love it. I spent the last 2 hours putting together the backing, laying it out, pinning it up and around the edges of my blanket. The only step left is zipping it through my sewing machine (and oh yes, I do zip) BUT I found the most absolute perfect blue broadcloth for my backing. It's exactly what I've seen in my head for the last month or two.
And... here's what happens when you're making:
Perfect? In my head yes. In reality, no, not so much.
What does this mean? I'm not spending 4 months on something to take the easy but not perfect road out in the last hour. So, I'll bring it to school tomorrow, set up my installation, then re-do the whole backing over the weekend. Yaaay (is my sarcasm coming through there?)
I'll try some muslin, some tea stained muslin, and i'll try blotchily tea staining this blue fabric then decide what works best.
Friginoo.
Now I'm off to bed.
(It's just too new, and clean looking. See??)

Maybe too late to matter but a run through the washing machine might fade any newness that you are having trouble with.
