If you look closely on the bottom right side of this photo, there is a cut in the fabric. My oldest, who is now 24 decided to "help" me finish it by taking a pair of scissors and cutting it. (He was 3 at the time.) After I scolded him about playing with scissors, (I'll have to tell you the rotary cutter story some other time), I couldn't bear to hide his part in making the quilt, so I left the cut. It has never gotten bigger while being washed or used, so I guess it was meant to be! The binding is so worn, it is practically see through.

The cheerful qult is very beautiful.
What a great history your quilt has! Quilts should be loved until the binding is thin. :-) I think that is a sure sign of a successful quilt.
How about that! Great minds think alike and all that ya know. :D Love the colors of yours and too cute about your son's cut.
Wow! Now your quilt really has a story to tell! :)
