How far....

Well, Jess and Jess. This is for you. I made some of the blocks and didn't know what to do with them.  I took them out and looked at them every now and then. Yesterday I decided the time had come to use them in a quilt.  It's far from perfect, but it is a quilt top, about cot size. Not sure about the outside border...it is coloured buttons on a white background,maybe when it has a binding it will look better.
We are having some sunshine, and more than a few very heavy rain. It's good to stay indoors and sew:-)

  2. Absolutely gorgeous! Love the batiks you've used. And yes, I agree, the binding will "finish" this quilt. Well done!

    1. Thank you Mary. I just used bits out of my stash, as I wasn't sure how it would turn out. I would like to try some of them again in a more organised way.
