3rd quarter FAL

Well, I finished it!!


My quilt that has been carried over from the first quarter of Rhonda's FAL


The girls bought me the fat 1/4's for my birthday last year, and I wanted to do this giant star, and decided the two would go nicely together.  I hand quilted in in diamond shapes


The best thing about this quilt is the very soft, fleecy backing.


I am hoping that it will stay lovely and soft and not lose it's shape, as it wasn't an expensive fleecey blanket, just one I picked up in Dunelm 

I thought this was my only finish for the FAl, but my ET block was on there too, which I finished in July, so it hasn't been a completely unsuccesful quarter!

  5. Oh well done you! Love your quilting and the cushion is fab. I cut out the squares for the giant star but haven't been brave enough to sew them. Hopefully now I have a new machine I will.
