WiP Wednesday - 09-05-2007

A finish at long last! This is Rachel's quilt and has well and truly wrapped the world, with blocks from America, Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Japan, Turkey, and the UK. I busted the batting stash on this one. I used up the bits from the really thick stuff that I used on Alex's 9 patch so it is thick and heavy and tied really well. Never, ever again will I fuse bits together. Aunt's quilt is not going too well (sniff). Got a bit of a problem on the quilting front. I think I am going to have to be naughty and machine quilt the letters in the ditch.

As for "being naughty" -- umm, I won't tell if you don't.

Great quilt, I love the "stuffed" look with the heavy batting and the ties. And I'm sure it will be apreciated!

using the machine is practical and smart - not cheating.

Very nice Clare. Are you planning to make any more quilts? Do you need more blocks or fabric?
