...and grew, and grew! Hi my lovelies, I have not been about for a while, life just got in the way of living, as it has a habit of doing - work, work, work, and my poor youngest daughter has not been well for a while. Anyway, less of the gloom. Over the last three months, i have been working on a hst quilt, inspired on the Beacon of hope pattern, and using up bits and bobs, you could say it is partially a scrappy quilt (I did have to buy the background colour and the backing)
Thing is, this started as an exercise to practise my hsts, right? A little lap quilt, right? Not right. My daughter (youngest) saw what I was doing and said "Oh this is finally MY quilt, isn't it? What can you say? So I thought, well a big cuddle quilt will be nice, and I grew the pattern a bit. But my idea made it a big big for a lap/cuddle and a bit small for her double bed ...sooooo
Not yet finished, but I have done the top - comes in at 89 inches square, fits her small double nicely - but, now my backing fabric is too small - bought before the growth spurt - and is no longer available. I am debating in making frames with the purple fabric so that the back is sort of windows - if that makes sense. Whatcha all think?
Will attach photos in a minute - techy probs
