One here.
And here's the other.
I am soooo pleased this is finished. It has been my bete noir since goodness only knows when.
There are bumps all over the place, the stitching is not consistent (I changed needles 3 times) and sometimes I didn't hit the backing with the stitches. When I squared it up the cutter slipped and I lost some of the backing near the bottom. Then I cut the binding too small and instead of replacing it, decided to make do. Bottom left hand corner has been patched! Putting on the sleeve last night was a nightmare. I was tired, but I was not going to go to bed until it was finished.
It's done and that's what counts.
Tamzin you can put it in the cellar if you want to :-)

Congrats, Clare! It looks great!
Some projects are just more difficult than others for no good reason! Glad you're done, and I'm sure they'll be delighted! What a beautiful quilt for a gift!
I think it's great and I'm sure she will too :o)
I think it is just lovely! I can't do the linear letters at all! And you make me feel so much better when you described your hard time making it! Somedays all I do is rip things out and I end up farther behind than I started! This is delightful, meaningful and sure to be treasured!
LOL Clare! Congrats on the finish. A lot of blood, sweat and tears, eh? It will be appreciated all the more :)
It looks great and I love the colors! I know it will be treasured.
I just want you to know how much I like your "tag-free" button and I have borrowed it for my blog. I sure dread ever being tagged. I don't wish to offend, and if you object, please let me know and I will take it down. Thank you! www.shespinswool.blogspot.com
My motto is - if it's too big, cut it off, if it's too small, stretch it and above all - finished is better than perfect!
So well done for sticking at it - it's beautiful.
Congratulations! Doesn't it feel good to have something finished! And already quilted! I'll be working on mine for awhile longer I guess. Your friend will love it!
you did great! such a lovely sentiment and so much love went into this quilt.
