Yep true it is this quilt has been like a doom cloud hanging over me ,not that it’s ugly,not that it was complicated,just that it is blue and I don’t like the colour blue..
So way way back in August last year I posted this pic.
Ekkk so much blue.
Then I cut it all up into 2½” strips..
Alas then it sat for a tad whilst I got over my blue shock…
Ahh look progress happened again I started sewing the strips together..
Umm and somewhere along the time line I cut them strips into squares..
And sewed them together in rows…
And then I sectioned it all off into three bits (pic above being one of the outer sections)
And then for months I quilted and quilted and back quilted and cussed and threatened to throw it in the bin bal blah blah……
then couple of weeks ago I finally had all three bits quilted.
AND now I have finished it all yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaah…..
There it is on our king size bed (now this is for a queen size bed-but the lady requested a bigger size)
hmm see how much it hangs I am sure she will be impressed…..
This quilt measures 104"x104” yep I have deemed myself totally insane ..and all sewing done on a simple domestic sewing machine.
Thank you you all for your words of encouragement and inspiration along the way (specially when so many of you know I don’t like blue….
Cheers Vickie
