hi all, I've finally got my top finished!! Yay :-) I've hardly been able to get into the sewing room recently for STUFF being stored in there whilst we decorated the other rooms...

Anyway, I began by doing a (3 x 2) blocks top, but the proportions for that were awful, so I wanted to double it to a (3 x 4) blocks size, but I'd run out of the yellow so had to hunt for some more. Found some at the Edinburgh quilt show fortunately. Then when I'd reached that size I had so much left over fabric that I decided to go larger again, and made it up to a (4 x 5) blocks size top lol.

Then I had about 80 bonus HSTs lying about, so rather than just slinging them into the scraps drawer, I made a small border out of those too!

It's ended up approx 53" by 70" .

So here's the end result of all that industry lol.

Coincidentally, when I was going through old photos I found this one, done last year some time. I knew I liked this pattern <vbg>

So once again, a big thank you to Judy for arranging these train rides, I always enjoy them :-))

Cheers, K
