You can probably tell that I’m a but excited by the completion of this belated Christmas present, I really love it! So, please forgive me if I’ve gone a bit overboard with the number of pictures; the quilt has gone now, so they’re all I have left! You might think I’d be a bit bereft or scratching around for something else to do, but no. Alongside finishing this quilt, I’ve also been knitting – trying to finish another belated Christmas present. And that’s what I’m going to focus on now, a beautiful lacy scarf. I’ll show you some pictures of that in a day or two, when that one’s also on it’s way to its new owner!

In all it's glory!
And here it is again!

I LOVE the circles!
What do you know? It's a circle!

I'm just as happy with the reverse!
It's like roads over hills!
And it was gone... off for a new life with its new owner!

Wow!! Absolutely beautiful! Just the sort of quilt I like – love the colours and the fabric (especially the amy butler one that I am using a lot too at the moment). And really love the hand quilitng – so few people still do that these days. Also love the quirky pattern AND the reverse! It’s a real achievement – well done!
Thank you both so much – I enjoyed every second of making it and can’t wait to get on with the next one now!
This is a beautiful quilt, I love everything about it. Congratulations!
