I've just finished my first quilt for Mum. Not my first quilt ever, just the first one for her.

It's around 60" square, hand & machine pieced, and hand quilted. Over 1,200 hours has gone into the making of this quilt.

The last hurdle - washing it - was probably the most traumatic time as the teal colored backing fabric leached into the cream fabric on the front (yes I did pre-wash). Very stressful.

Hope you enjoy.

Hung out to dry
