Elle - I tell you I quilted the whole quilt in about 5 hours and it went like a dream...all the stitching is in the ditch...well apart from the odd little bit and the back looks really neat too....so I am a happy bunny, I have got the binding on and half hand stitched to the back, but I am too tired tonight....burned myself out last night lol!!

Your so kind Melissa, I decided to use up all the pieces of fabric leftover. The central fabric was about 4" shorter than the front block section, so I just added another strip top and bottom to balance it out, I am really pleased with how this quilt has turned out...I might put it on our exhibition in October what do you think?? :?

I think you should Izy!!! its a beautiful quilt!! I love the soft colors in it!!!!
I always see people piecing the backs and I think they are so cool but havent worked up the courage to do it myself! That would take me out of my little comfort zone!!!! :lol:

I was worried sick about lining them up, I didn't want all the seams to be together as I thought it would be difficult to quilt in the ditch if there was a double seam and could look really bad,if you didn't manage to line them up perfectly... so made the back borders to be off-set to the front....but squaring them both up to each othermwasn't too bad in the end, its a little bit off but not so much you would notice. I really wanted to do a giant disappearing 9 patch, but didn't have enough of each fabrics .....but next time...!!
