I got all the packages I needed to send off posted! So whoever I owe a package too in less than two weeks expect something through your mail box.
Upon getting home I was distracted reading a book, which I had bought with me for the bus journey. I was hand quilting then reading, then back to hand quilting. I had only 2 blocks left to do, but with the reading it took a while to finish.

The quilt with finished quilting. I went around the squares in each Granny Block
I actually really love this quilt and am glad it will be staying in the house! The prints took me sometime to get(after a missing order)...which you can find on this page. All I have to do is the binding and make a label to go on the back, then convince the Giants to sign it..and Mother....
Hand quilting is actually really relaxing. One day I'll try using Jano for this job, but until that day comes it's the good old needle and Perle.
Today I'm linking up with

Siya'll tomorrow =D
The quilting really does make an interesting design on the backing. I figured out your lunch in dollars and that's only a little over $10. I keep thinking pounds are worth what they used to be, and it seemed expensive, but then it isn't!
ReplyDeleteLove the granny squares they are one of my most favorite blocks. Tanya and I have been talking about doing on in batiks. Thanks for linking up.
