Well it has taken thirty years but it is now complete. It has been quilted, washed,blocked and bound.
It is done!!! I can't believe that I have actually finished it, after all this time.
The colours had got quite dull over the years but now that it is freshly laundered and the trial markings have all been washed out it looks like the tmaterials were just bought this month.
It is the first time I have made a sort of traditional type of quilt and certainly the biggest quilt I have made, so I am feeling very pleased to have done it. Moving it around the sewing machine, to do the quilting, wasn't a problem as the machine is set onto a 6' x 3' table.
I did have a problem crawling around to block it out on a spare bedroom floor.
At one point I got really bad cramp in one foot and couldn't get up or down and the quilt took up the floor space so couldn't lie down and moan either!!!
Can't understand why quilting isn't counted as an Olympic sport considering the contortions we go through
