Going green.....


Having made a great lap quilt yesterday for  my friends birthday, I felt a pressing need to repeat the deed and make another, in more Westminster fabrics! A green selection happened to be the in the stash from an Etsy purchase a few months ago, so here is the completed top. I need to find a suitable backng for this little baby!

Full reveal on the gift made yesterday now that the binding is on






My first attempt at proper binding worked out well- I have conquered that fear now! 
Back to the knitting .......

  2. Lovely quilt - I recognise the backing- I bought some at Ikea to make cushions! I really like the green fabrics - I bought a jelly roll of Westminster fabrics last year at a show but none of those lovely greens in it. Ah well, impulse buys, never do me any favours!

  3. I love the greens too - am having a green moment myself with the pottery colours. Am catching up since getting back and have just seen your beach hut and am now GREEN with envy!! xCathy

    1. Thank you ,and welcome to my blog- isnt it amazing what you can stumble across when browsing? I cannot believe you have produced a book! I will be following you with interest, I want to come to Kentucky some time for the quilt festival at Paducah! I have been to West Virgina quite a few times to visit friends, and love bluegrass music!
