Firstly, and most importantly, the quilt my friend made for Charlie has been completed and received! And I am very happy with it. The design was a bit different to the other boys, and it was a bit of a gamble using so much patterned and quite pale materials but I really like the way it turned out. Thank you so much Barbara for all the boys quilts. We are so lucky to know you and have you as part of our lives.
TI also need to extend the thanks to Barbara, for helping me with the second side of my first ever quilt.
Barbara, her husband and my mum all came to stay for just under a week and the board was more than paid for in help with quilting, upholstering and childcare! We had a great time!
The second half of my quilt was quickly finished with the help of an assistant. It is a unique approach I have, I think! Accurate and perfect it is not, but done it is! And I like the pattern and I think the imperfections add to the beauty and makes me know it is mine and made with love and not just bought from a shop! That's what I keep telling myself anyway! Marilyn Monroe once said 'imperfections are beauty, madness is genius'
So here is a photo of the finished 'Spring' side of my Autumn/Spring quilt. I have tacked the two side and wadding together and now I just have to hand quilt the whole thing (which is near enough King Size). It will still be a while before it's finished, but I can't help already planning a Winter/Summer one!
