I've been so busy working on projects to give to othere people! I finally finished all those, and decided to make a lap quilt for me! The pattern is called Homeward Bound, and I made if from a jelly roll of Kansas Troubles' Wildflower Serenade--I love these fabrics! The flowers in the big squares are all hand quilted, then I just machine stitched in the ditch to finish it off. Not my strong point, but I'm happy with the outcome.

Very pretty Harmony! You did a great job. Love the flowers in the middle of the big squares.

Thats lovely the colours are great.
This may seem to you all a silly question but when you stitch in the ditch on your machine do you sew right onto the join or just to one side.

I sew right in the ditch and try not to catch the top fabric that was pressed over.

Thank you babeegirl, I am getting some quilting gloves tomorrow, yes I got them and then handed them over to my DH as part of my present along with some other bits and bobs, so will be having a go on my new machine on Boxing Day.
