Dreamkeeper -- my Valentine for J

This will be the only part of my bauhaus quilt that contradicts the style. I just couldn't help using the old cuff from my husband's shirt with two buttons, looking at me suggestively. You may find that also the surrounding red cloth doesn't fit into the whole thing. This is my base fabric on which I build up the quilt top in a Korak technique. And as this story telling bit reminds of Jude's work, I used her magic thread for the face. Horns or ears? Is this suitable for a Valentine quilt? Too bad I can't finish it today. But J likes warm covers, so this one won't even be wrong in summer. And then, right in the middle, there will be this devilish watchdog biting away all the bad dreams.
I know it works.


Happy Valentine to all of you! Have a day full of love.
