Well it's finally done. After washing a few missed seams showed their ugly heads and sew back to the sewing machine it was. Fixed those, ironed as best I could and even made a bag for it  :D
Just gotta get it to mum now which will be difficult for a few days. Pam's laid up with an abscess in a delicate area and I'm coughing my lungs up with a bugger of a bug (not covid).

GRREAT - love the colours so bright and cheerful and a bag -

What a good idea I usually gift them in a 'The Works' decorative cardboard box.

PS love the corners as well

That turned out very well, and the corners are inspired.

Well done for persevering, it was worth it.  I too like your corners - a nice touch.

I've done the grandkids and grand dogs along the borders and her 3 kids on each corner. Seeing as there's 4 corners her partner went on the last one as he's a very nice gentleman indeed.
In the car now. She doesn't know about the personalisation I've done on it  :D
