That's a bit more like it!

Here we are again and this time, some serious quilting for you!


I finished my Mum's quilt last night and ran it through the machine and tumbler this morning.  Here it is in all its crinkly wonderfulness!



It consists of a Moda 'Rose Parade' layer cake, a Lily Ashbury 'Summer House' charm pack, the remnants of the Cloud9 polkadots from my Dad's quilt, bound with some Klona Blush Pink, and backed with some unknown local fabric shop vintage style print.



It measures up at a grand 50"x 65".

I straight-line quilted, mirroring the D9P pattern, and basically it has turned out better than I dreamt it would. 

I am not sure that my Mum will spend much time standing holding the quilt to the sun, but look at the effect if she does...


Very pleased, relieved and happy to have this one in the bag!  Handover on Sunday.  Tick.

    That is one beautiful quilt. It seems like summertime is in its very fabric, and it will cheer a gloomy room in winter. Your mother will be thrilled.
