Thank you very much. This is the third quilt I've made, but I don't think I will be making another one, I don't think I have got that much patience left! But I said that after the last one !!!

Thank you so much. If I had known that satin would be hard to cope with on such a large project, I wouldn't have started it, but I kept going, and now the worst is over, but I must admit, it looks very nice!

Thank you, but the hardest part was putting the border on. There were 60 blocks, joined to the four sides of the quilt, and it was an awful lot to put to the machine. As it was satin, it kept slipping, and I ended up with a pair of rubber surgical gloves on to get a grip on it!! But I am very pleased with it.
