This week I finally finished the bulk of the snowball quilt for M. It's a
great relief to have reached this point as it was quite awkward to
stitch. After having a few doubts about certain fabrics and if they went
together as an entirety, I see the piece now and absolutely love it.
When I was putting colours together I didn't realise just how 'marine'
it was, but this is my over-riding impression now - perhaps hardly
surprising from a water-lover.
I am now intending to have a small break from the work, after which I shall square off the edges and that will be the patchwork finished. I
have basted my triangles to sew along the sides, and this is the cotton
I have chosen to use...
It's a lovely feeling to be able to make something so special for a
wonderful friend. She really has no idea about this and will be
gobsmacked when she opens it on Christmas Day!
