Finished at last! One jelly roll (Fabric Freedom Spice Trail) plus some plain cream and lots of old sheeting (instead of stabiliser.) 38 blocks, pieces, quilted and backed ITH and then ladder stitched together by hand. My intention was that this would lie on top of a plain duvet cover on my bed, but it looks good on the sofa so that is where it is staying. I suppose I need to start one for the bed now......

Looks fabulous on the sofa, and I really like the combination of colors. Will be great for autumn. Can't wait to see your next creation for your bed!

A lot of work, but it looks so fabulous. Like it on the sofa. Will you use the same colours for your bedroom?. The stitching on the pale colour is terrific really finishes it of. Sandra.

There will definitely be brown - but I haven't decided what else. Spice colours really are my favourite of most places in the house.

Looks good, so did you just whip stitch the blocks together?

No, ladder stitch pulled very tight.

Wonderful Sue!
How long did it take to handstitch all those pieces together?

Not too long. I did most of it while sitting in the sun and it was very relaxing.

You are amazing Sue. I think you should come over to SA and give me some lessons. The word QUILT makes me hyperventilate.

With your sewing skills it would be a doddle!
