quilt finished!

[seldear]

Like I said the other day, I'm having a bad case of covetousness right now.

The woman with the machine quilter that I took the quilt to suggested a tropical flower pattern, rather like the hibiscus pattern in purple and yellow on the border. And she did it, edge to edge. I spent most of today doing the binding - I think next time I'll cheat and use the machine to do it - I did mebfeather and iainc's quilt binding with a machine and it worked out fine, I think. Maybe a little rough, but I did it in an hour instead of seven!

(On the plus side, I got through the Terminator trilogy while I was doing the quilt binding. On the minus side, not a scrap of writing!)

It looks beautiful. I mean, I love the ones I've made for Heather and Bec, but...it's just the vibrancy of the colours that gets me. It's so pretty!!

All right. Now to get it sent off!

I was hoping to get another one made before I went overseas, but I don't think I have the time.
