mebfeather and iainc. Do not tell them about it!
Why? Because it contains pics of their wedding present!
I'm making a quilt! Machine quilting - not hand. I'm not that much of a masochist! And I decided to work with a fancier pattern than the ones I made for my sisters' 21st birthday.
So far, this is about 15 hours of work. There'll be a wide navy blue border and a thinner lilac/lavendar border, then a navy blue backing and edge.
I've included a close-up of the pattern, and a detail, so you can see the actual prints (fat little japanese children).
It may seem kinda staid to you, but I'm excited! I haven't made a quilt in years - and my last attempts were simple. The piecing together of this one took a lot more effort, energy, and planning - and that was with everything simplified!
*dances with joy*
I won't be doing anything more over the weekend - I don't have the bits and pieces necessary to get it all done. But I'll definitely show you the finished product before it gets wrapped up for Wedding!Con!
Incidentally, if I've been a complete wally and totally made this post visible to Feath and Iain, seriously, guys, don't peek!! It will spoil the surprise!
