Just finished my daughters quilt she wanted as her colours 50 shades of purple did not manage 50 shades I did 80 x 8inch blocks from Kreative Kiwi her jelly roll coaster blocks. I did quilt as you go and my hands took a beating as there is a lot of hand sewing on the back. two pictures front and back. Cant give it to her until after lockdown but have sent her a picture. She loves it I also used for the four corner stone blocks KK zodiac signs and also her quilt label I just added date and name of quilt . pictures not so good sorry in full sun

Thank you I did not have enough fabric of those colours for the back so decided to mix it up a bit

Gosh thank you as for the border I was going to do the piano border with all the stripes I had over and realised that it would be too much so I cut that 5 inch piano border I half and added long 12 inch stripes just to add another shade .

I once tried to get 9 shades of grey and ended up having to dye fabric.

Thank you I enjoyed this one because this daughter never wanted a quilt so now at the age of 44 she at last decided that she likes quilts.

Ah! So this has special meaning for you as well! Some things just take time. She'll probably want more quilts as time goes by and she realizes what a comfort a quilt can be in life.
