Remember this?
I finally gave it back to Mum in January after taking an incredibly long time to quilt it and it has been happily living on her bed since.
But... I didn't take any photos and finally I found the time last week.
It took me quite a while to quilt because I kept changing my mind. So after much unpicking I finally settled on the leaf pattern for the sashing and really like it now.
This lovely quilt design is a slight variation of the Vintage Comfort pattern designed by my lovely colleague Judy Newman. Judy has finally started up a blog called a very fine house. She makes all sorts of wonderful quilts and things so go and visit and say hi!
I really like having a close look at this quilt as it's one of the first quilts I ever made and finished (finally). I can really see how much my machine piecing has improved and how much my quilt making in general has improved and evolved.
Now, on to the next one!!

Have started your quilt pattern ... but stuffed up the cutting out (what a dufus) so now have a compromised version slowly coming together (now that I've stopped swearing at myself...)
