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. 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"

It 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

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
Thank you - for being such a wonderful aunt.
I try. My friend tells me all the time I'm very trying. ha ha ha

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 )

Hi 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.

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.
