This is the Quilt I made for my Niece for her wedding in June this year. It measures 105" X 95 " (whew). It was to be 105 " square. but spat the dummy , and thought that it was big enough at 105x95 . Just as well I had my new Grand Quilter from Pfaff to Quilt it. I quilted it to within and inch of it's life .ha ha

Thank you so much. it took 6 weeks working solidly to put it together and then another 2 weeks to Quilt. I Quilted it "to an inch of it's life " Glad I did as the quilting really shows up.

32767Hi Roslyn, your quilt is stunning and I love it! I have one question, "What is "Spat the dummy"? I have never heard that term but obviously others have as they have not asked what it means. Maybe I am just slow!!! Ha-Ha-Ha!!!! I feel that a question never asked is an answer never known--and--I want to know! Thanks, Bonita

Bonita I have never head "Spat the Dunny " before either and would like to know the meaning of it.

Hi Bonita, I think that you could say , Gave up the ghost- or gave it up as a bad joke - or Just fed up with it, but under the same lines.
2375How many hours of love did you put in this? Beautiful.

Ta Much. I think that she was" stunned"when I handed it to her. She chose the design and told me the colours and then I just had to finish it before the wedding ( and one for her mother too )
145305What a wonderful wedding present. You have got to be her favorite aunt! *4u

I do love her to bits.

Ta Much .Now you know what I do in between embroidering stuff.They have a "king size" bed so I sort of had to guess what size to make it. Tyler puts her Pillows under, like a "sham" so it had to be long enough.All guess work I suppose
211079It is mind boggling, gorgeous, How long did it take you? Here I am fretting over a baby quilt my daughter wants me to make lol. Kudos to you and your craftsmanship no artistry. *

Ta Misscharlie. It took 6 weeks ( nearly 8-10 hour days) to cut and put it together and then another 2 weeks quilting it. BOY was I pleased when it was finished.I think that it took around 3 hours JUST to hand sew the binding down.But I don't begrudge one ounze of time spenton it. You'll get yours finished too and it will be beautiful Cheers
20498I'm sure your neice appreciates all the hard work Roslyn. Something to be proud of that's for sure.

Thank you. I Hope they do. We can only hope can't we. She was the Recipient of the Purple Quilt too. I think I'll have to
think of something else for the 2 boys ( Men) they already have one each, But I think the eldest boy MAY be thinking of marriage next year. Just a "hunch"
