Made a small bit of progress this afternoon, a bit of sewing followed by a bit of unpicking  :rolleyes: Anyway the basket is now in place so tomorrow, after i've done the housework, i will stitch some ropes to connect the basket to the balloon (will practice this on scrap fabric first) then add the batting and back it and maybe get to do some quilting, then all that leaves is the piping and back to do.

That is really lovely @Diane - and amazing for a first project using the method.  I watched an FPP demo on Sewing Street this morning and it did look like a very satisfying thing to do...  :thinking:
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

@Acorn Thankyou, it is very satisfying, looking back it was probably a bit ambitious doing something this big to start with but i got there in the end, i've really enjoyed it and have learnt a few things along the way that i would do better next time. I would love to do a wall hanging using this method maybe depicting a landscape or something similar.
