Totally and utterly honoured and gobsmacked!
So dear partner, if you happen to look in on this, you'll be getting your hands on this prize-winner in about a month…
I shall just enjoy looking at it for a little longer xxx

Blogger's Quilt Festival - Fall 2014
Hello there! Welcome to my humble abode, maybe for the thousandth time, maybe the first, it's lovely to see you all.
This evening I am linking up with awesome Amy and her Blogger's Quilt Festival. I love taking part, love seeing so many inspiring and wonderful creations all in one place; so many quilts, so little time, it's great to not have to do the leg work. We may not be at market, but it's not the end of the world!
I scanned through my photos for the last six months; there are a few quilts in there, not as many as I would have hoped, I think 5 or 6, and this time I have plumped for my last quilt finish.
My #IGminiswap quilt.
I finished this up at the Brit Bee Weekender a few weeks back, but I was so damn productive that weekend, the finish didn't get an all bells and whistles post to itself, so now is its time shine.
My partner in this swap has a liking for improv, and her likes mosaic was pleasingly scrappy. Improv does not come easily to me. I like a straight line and a perfect point (not to obsession, but near enough, oh the irony!), so I had to keep us both happy.
Wonky Drunkard's Path blocks. Cut with a Sizzix, pieced and then squared off to 3.5" with no particular alignment.
I hope this ticks my partner's box, so to speak. I love how it turned out, sometimes those sketches on the back of an office memo really do make it all worthwhile.
I pondered the ROYGBIV category, but have decided to pop this in with the Scrappy Quilts.
A few more details for those who like them:
Finished size 24" square;
60 different coloured scraps; duplicates in the LV background;
Pieced & quilted with Aurifil 2021 50wt;
Bound with black & white Flurry and a few coloured scraps for luck;
Off-centre spiral quilting.
Thank you for taking the time to have a look, I am certainly looking forward to seeing what everyone else has been up to x
