Siblings Together all finished

Hurray, I have finished my Siblings together quilt and also completed number two on my FAL (original list here)


I kept the quilting fairly simple as it was such a large quilt and have used a plain yellow to bind it with
 
and scraps of blue to make the backing - this also shows the quilting up a bit better


BUT... I am disappointed as there are two bits of fabric where the seam allowance (aka my sewing skills) are non existent.  This quilt was fiddly to make and in these two areas I obviously didn't match up my two fabrics correctly and the fabric has frayed a little.  I have sewn over it, very neatly I hope, so I know it won't fray any more, but I am really disappointed with myself



Although it was fiddly, I think the pattern is fabulous and I really am tempted to make one of these for myself: although I am not sure where on earth it would go!!

    Beautiful quilt. Don't be hard on yourself as no one is going to examine it that closely. Brilliant finish. Di x

    The quilt is beautiful and the little seam issue is resolved so there is nothing to be disappointed about. Congratulations on the finish too.

    Yeah - what everyone else said. My experience of children is that they don't inspect anything too closely - I think they will just love your quilt as it is stunning :)

    Snap on the finish. Love your quilt and we all have those seam allowance moments. I am sure your fix will do the job and I KNOW the quilt will be loved.

    Sometimes we concentrate so hard on one thing it's easy to miss something. It looks great. An awesome accomplishment for sure

    It's lovely Catherine. I understand your annoyance with the fraying - it's happened to me a couple of times when I've had very scant seams - I ended up handstitching them closed with matching thread, and they're really not noticeable now :o)

    it is beautiful and that has happened to us all I am sure. It is fixed and certainly won't be noticed at all I am sure. Remember it is not about perfection! x

    Great quilt! Unique fraying technique, I think that makes it even MORE SPECIAL!

    Beautiful! Does have to have a place to go? Or is it me that just makes them because I love it!
