Firstly thanks to your interest in my last post-enough to leave a comment, which were all appreciated. A special thanks goes out to Patty who kindly pointed out the upside down star point and the funny thing is, I hadn't even noticed such a visible mistake, so thanks Patty.
O yes, thanks too to Tammy who suggested sheep in the grass as I wasn't quite taken with the prim cat/dog in the original.
Two more blocks completed.
Ok, this is as far as I have got-all the blocks sewn together-click to get a clearer pic
The problem is-I thought I was so near finished but just look at those borders......nearly as much work as I have already done, never mind the huge bit that I find challenging.....quilting!!!
A friend told me, the only way to make a quilt is one stage at a time, so my next stage is the borders and I'm trying not to think of the quilting (another years work??)
Have a great week,
Shazy x
I love the quilt rack/blanket crane in your banner. Do you know where I could find one? Love your new quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh Shazy, it's really gorgeous - you must be really pleased with it. I love your choice of colours too. Keep going with the borders - you'll get there eventually. Quilts do take forever don't they? I'm only half way through one I started about 18 months ago!!
ReplyDeleteLove Julia xx
Great job so far! You can't NOT finish this one.
ReplyDeleteShazy,
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is spectacular! I wish I sewed better. It's funny, I get all agitated, even with a machine...but I love seeing what you talented seamstresses are coming up with! Just beautiful! You'll figure out the stages as they come...all part of the fun of the craft.

Shazy it looks amazing! I had to go back because I didn't remember the star points being upside down!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so gorgeous! I love how the four seasons are represented!! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOhhh but it's stunning! even without the borders it looks fab. The border looks so detailed tho' it will be worth the work!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe how huge it is!
Best wishes
Christine
