So I've finally finished the quilt.for my sister. Relatively pleased with it - there is one section of flying geese that I am not particularly pleased with as they somehow managed to gain some fabric fullness when quilting the borders around them. Hoping this will shrink a bit when washed.

Otherwise I think it turned out well considering it is the biggest project I have self designed and uses only scraps. The quilting on the pin wheels looks good but continually turning it through my sewing machine was not fun!. I wasn't brave enough to do the straight lines as FMQ!

The colour of the backing is a nice pink colour as well but the camera would not pick it up.

Well done, I love the colours, so subtle!
I have learnt by my mistakes: Sewing machines now are Bernina 720, Bernina 1008, Bernina 801 from 1981, Brother overlocker, ancient but works well

It is a thing of beauty - well done!
If you see me with a seam ripper, now is not a good time
