Phew I have had a slow start this week, had to have a tooth out on Monday after suffering through my birthday last weekend. I have to say the aftermath of having the tooth out was much worse than the initial toothache…. Mind you it had to be bad to send me scurrying off to a Dentist, I have never forgotten the old time drill machine we used to have at school years ago, maybe that’s why my generation are so terrified of Dentists…… BUT I was determined to get on and keep up with the mystery quilt this weekend so have sewed all afternoon and have finished the top ready for the Borders which I understand will be the next step in this quilting process.
I have learnt soo much these past few weeks from doing this step by step quilt – I now understand about using a pin for placement to get the seams to match up and also how to get perfect points (well nearly perfect LOL) still think I have done ok for my first try……. So I would like to thank Helen for being generous enough to give this away and to give us newbie's step by step instructions to get us started in this quilting lark ………..Soo without further ado here is my quilt top – it is not wavy by the way – I hung it on my “design wall” to take the picture and only pinned it at the top, also the colours really pop out at you, I have taken this late afternoon and the light is not soo good.
You have done a lovely job putting the quilt top together. Nice colours too!! Regards,
