The sashing really makes this quilt.  Great work.  I trust you're not going to put it in a cupboard, Lowena.

Thanks girls.... it will probably end up in the crate Pearl, although I might sneak it onto the sofa as it's winter  ;)
Gosh the feet were difficult to fit on Greybird  :D

Gorgeous!  Is that your birthday present fabric?  You can't possibly hide it away  :angry: it's so beautiful and, if it is your birthday fabric, a lovely memory of a special birthday  :D

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

That's really gorgeous, Lowena. I'm still floored at the measuring bit even when it's only right angles. You have some pieces going diagonally. I don't have a clue how you measured it all but I love it - and I love the name you gave it.  :D

Yes it's my birthday fabric Snowy, lovely isn't it?  <3
I followed a pattern Sewbee, it's a jelly roll quilt ( as it was a jelly roll I was bought for my birthday ) by Pam and Nicky Lintott. The blocks are made up of...2.5" squares, 2.5" x 7.5" strips and triangles cut from 2.5" x 15" strips. It did make my mind boggle a bit from time to time ( and I did have to use the unpicker once or twice  :| )
It'll probably reside on the sofa, if I don't muck up the binding  :D :ninja:

Really like belt, so warm and cosy looking and theme roses will remind you of summer during the chilly months ahead.❄️
