This is the oldest quilt I have started and not finished!
Well to be more accurate part of it is!
I started making the EPP rosestar blocks way back in March 2012, using the EPP tutorial by Clare aka selfsewn. I made about fourteen and Lucy made one for me too!
Then I decided I could not make a whole quilt of them! I just don't enjoy EPP enough and then there would be the boring bits inbetween too. It just wasn't going to happen.
So I started combining them with these blocks. These are two of my favourites ...
When I added them to the background fabric I spaced them out more and added these - which I took from Jen Kingwell's Georgetown on my mind pattern.
It seems to have stayed at this stage for a long while. I couldn't decide how to quilt it!
But now I am quilting in the ditch for the blocks and doing random FMQ in the background!
It is a huge and heavy quilt for me to quilt on my domestic machine so thank goodness for that Horn table I got last year! It makes such a difference having my machine set in!
I have been doing a little bit of quilting everday for over a week now and I'm pleased to say....
....it is finished!
Sigh! I'm really quite pleased with this! Not quite sure what to call it - working title was Vintage Circles - anybody think of something better?
I'll be linking this up to FAL2016 when the time comes!

I should have tidied up a bit!
and a panoramic slice across the quilt - playing with the things my camera can do...
