Putting the Final Touches on the Nursery

Nursery day. The patchwork quilt got laid out flat on the carpet one last time to check the binding, then went over the crib rail where it's staying — the brown squares and the polka-dot ones pick up the bumper fabric almost exactly, which was the point.

The paintings went up too, one over each stretch of wall by the crib, circles in the same reds and blues and browns as the quilt. Small white ledges above the dresser now hold Ferdinand, a row of old alphabet blocks, and the cat painting. The dresser is doubling as a changing table, pad and basket on top, and every drawer knob is painted a different color.

Madeline ended up on the dark shelf by the door with the stuffed rabbit and duck. A blanket got folded over the back of the rocking chair, the toy bin tucked beside the crib, and by then the room was mostly done.

The Siamese has already claimed the glider by the window and does not look inclined to give it back.
