First Finish of Quarter three!

So pleased to have this little quilt finished before Friday!

Stingy Bee mates our work is complete!  







This quilt was made as a joint effort!   Blocks provided by the Bee a Brit Stingy bee, border and backing provided by the lovely Helen and I put it together.

The backing is Oakshott and makes this quilt so light and soft it is a dream!




I started out with minimal quilting as I wanted to keep the softness and didn't like it much but doubled the quilting and like it better now!

It has made me realise that I am not that into doing straight line quilting. 

Don't get me wrong - I love when I see it on quilts but I just hate doing it!   It seems that I prefer any shape with a bit of a curve to it and this is my comfort zone!

Now I have two quilts to deliver on Friday towards the Siblings Together charity.









Phew!

  10. Ooh how big is it? I count 20 blocks but at 12" standard size that single peg in the middle would be doing a crazy job of holding that kind of weight!
