I am happy to announce that I got the binding sewn on the quilt I have been finishing and you will see no more of it until it has done a lengthy postal journey, to distant lands, and been received by the intended person. Then I will show you all. Promise. For now, this is a good bye and a hope that the postal services of the world do their bit and have it arrive quickly.
And with that project done I returned to one very special to me. My HR Fan Club quilt, as I like to think of it. I worked out the last of the piecing and got to the cutting and putting it together today. I now only have the borders to add to three sides and the top is done.
Then I will have to decide on backing and binding. Eeeeek! The quilt top measures approximately 50" x 62" (or it will when I get those borders on) so it will be a nice lap size for a short arse like me. And it will make me smile every time I use it. Needless to say, this will be my quilt, only my quilt, and all other household members will be under threat of death if they use it.
I think that is perfectly reasonable.
Susan
very pretty quilt Susan
ReplyDeleteLovely HR quilt and I think you are being quite reasonable. I too have a quilt which is just mine, but as it is pink none of the 3 fellas in my house will go near it anyway! Excited to see the big reveal when your other quilt is delivered.
ReplyDeleteLooking good Susan - hope it arrives safely in it's faraway destination!
ReplyDeleteYour HR Fan Quilt is gorgeous! You are getting frightfully good at these improv style block quilts!
Perfectly reasonable!
The HR quilt looks lovely and I like the colour of the sashing. I hope that the completed quilt arrives safely at its destination quickly as we all want to see it!!!! Di x
ReplyDeleteLovin the HR goodness. Curious to see that big Swiss roll of a quilt unfurled. Looks like a fun one.
ReplyDeleteThe lovely scrappy bidding makes me want to see more of the quilt as soon as possible. Hope it arrives at its destination quickly and safely. The HR quilt it's going to be gorgeous, I love it already.
ReplyDeletePerfectly reasonable! What is the aqua sashing? It's perfect and SO pretty. You got lots of HR for the back?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for reaction!!!
ReplyDeleteFor a special quilt like your HR one then you need a bit of her new line for the back - surely?? Beautiful makes all round. Fingers crossed the quilt is delivered safely :)
ReplyDeleteBoth stunning looking beauties, but I would be willing to fight you for the HR quilt!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see that quilt unrolled - the very small glimpses you've shown have whetted my appetite!
ReplyDeleteI love the HR fan club quilt - the pale blue sashing was a brilliant choice!
How many times did you see Nemo? Mine, mine, mine! Oh I love it! Your HR, brilliant
ReplyDeleteSo where are you going to hide it then? :oD
ReplyDeleteReasonable?? Law binding and punishable with death! It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour HR quilt is already stunning, and I can't wait to see the other one. The peeks you've shown look great!
ReplyDeletequite reasonable (though that probably means that everyone else will want to use it). such a pretty rolled up quilt. have we seen the quilt?
ReplyDeleteSomeone's a very lucky recipient! And your quilt is gorgeous. I think it's so important to just occasionally make a quilt all for yourself!
ReplyDeleteAll mothers need something that is just their own and noone elses... so that's perfectly reasonable. I really like how you've put this one together and the light blue sashing is exactly the right setting for the blocks.
ReplyDeleteWell doesn't it look pretty all rolled up like that! And your HR is coming along beautifully :). Perfectly reasonable to have one of your own x
ReplyDeleteIt is great!
ReplyDeleteYour HR fan quilt is just beautiful - love photo of the rolled up quilt too!
ReplyDeleteThe HR quilt is looking fabulous Susan.Love that pale blue . Why shouldn't you have one quilt that's completely yours ...sounds like a great idea to me- after all you put in the hard yards.
ReplyDeleteWishing your other quilt a speedy journey to it's final destination.
Yes completely reasonable! Can you just imagine the girls dragging your beloved HR around the house after them!!!!! Aaarrgghhh! Doesn't bear thinking about! Jxo
ReplyDeleteYou're such a tease! Can't wait to see the gift quilt. Your HR is looking so good. It's the perfect way to showcase those precious scraps!
ReplyDeleteIt's just wonderful! I think it is perfectly reasonable to threaten death to any who touch it... It is precious, after all. Your precious ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is perfectly reasonable, you're right, because that is absolutely gorgeous!
ReplyDeletesounds fine to me ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery reasonable!
ReplyDeleteLovely... and all the more special because you designed it yourself......
