Thank you for your kind welcome
I have just taken a photo of my patchwork bed cover for all of you to see.
The drop that you see on the ground is the same at the other side of the clothes line and on the left of the photo is the drop for the bottom of the bed.
Please remember it is my first and only patchwork bedspread I have made, and I must admit as my cover got larger and larger I did wonder whether I was digging a big hole for myself instead of starting off with something more simple.
I originally wanted a full quilt and designed the pattern to fit my bed, but very soon after completing the cover I became a full time carer.
Now 5 yrs later I have a chance to finish it off
After reading all of your replies I'm wondering if I am just taking the easy way out in not completing the quilt as I wanted it in the beginning.
So here are the facts .. my sewing machine is a Janome MC 4900 which may cause me problems in dealing with a large quilt, and the other thing is I cannot go down the easier method of sewing in the ditch as my seams have been pressed open.
Go on say it "I've definitely put myself in at the deep end"
