Well done @Stitches that's a fair size for a first time wrestling match with a quilt.  Did you fmq it? Very brave.

@Stitches that's spectacular for a first attemp, and pretty good for a second or third quilt.

Most impressive for a first quilt and nice bold colours and geometric design . Sure your grandson will love it, especially since most students can’t afford heating!
