Yep - it's the Festival of Quilts at the NEC. I'm off there today and hope to meet up with a few people. I'll be taking lots of photos but can't promise to post them until early next week as I've got a busy weekend coming up. But I hope to be able to tell you a few things over the next few days. For all of you going - have a great time.
At long last it's finished. My first large (96 x 78 inches) quilt. I'm really pleased with the pieced binding. It took a while to finish off - but I really like it. I've still got a bit of tidying up and I need to add a label - but the hard slog is finished. So I feel a bit lost now without a huge quilt to sit and stitch when I fancy. You can see from below I've already got the fabric for my next project from Strawberry Fayre. And yet again it was great service - really fast. I've washed the fabric and now it needs a good press. I also need to make sure I think about how the cut the fabric so I don't end up with lots of bits. The larger pieces I'll piece to make the back.
