It has been a long time in the making (see this post, this post and this post) but I have finally finished my quilt.
Love it. Love it. Love it.
Despite it not really being warm enough (it's intended to be for summer and even spring weather has gone into retreat here in Melbourne the last week or two) it's already on my bed. I couldn't resist. :)
I began this quilt without any real idea of how to make one. I'd helped Mum with small quilt once previously but, while I enjoyed sewing the fabric pieces together, I handed it back to Mum for everything that came later. This time it seemed that with every step I completed I learnt another that needed to be done. No one mentioned hand sewing the entire binding!
I'm pleased to say that I worked on every stage of this quilt. Designing, cutting, arranging, sewing, sewing, sewing. But, when my enthusiasm was lagging recently, my Mum helped. A lot. I'd work on it at her house on a Thursday night then pick it up again the next Thursday and discover she had continued on. Love that. Thanks Mum.
This is the quilt that Mum and I made.
