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.

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.

What a great quilt with world wide ties and a true stashbuster! Very colorful!
It's turned out great Clare - well done!
I love red and white quilts! This looks great!
Oh, it looks fantastic!
As for "being naughty" -- umm, I won't tell if you don't.
It's absolutely gorgeous and I'm sure Rachel will treasure it! Well done!
Great quilt, I love the "stuffed" look with the heavy batting and the ties. And I'm sure it will be apreciated!
It came out beautifully- stuffed full of love!
OOh, I see my block, love the tied look, Tracey
you are doing such a great job.
using the machine is practical and smart - not cheating.
Claire the tying is working out great! Lovely work - it looks so warm :)
What a fun quilt! It will be loved.
Very nice Clare. Are you planning to make any more quilts? Do you need more blocks or fabric?
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Love your quilt, red and white never seems to date, always looks clean and fresh. It looks lovely and thick.
