The blocks really need the dark sashing and I think will look even better once the final border is added. It&#8217;s somehow light and rich all at the same time and has a real country scrappy feel. I \u00a0used a lot of very old fabrics which have been hanging around in my stash for decades &#8211; putting them to a good use \u00a0feels soooo virtuous! The only things I bought were three light fat quarters as I thought I might run a little short, otherwise it&#8217;s all stash.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, just a great quilt &#8211; if I blow my own trumpet!

I have the Malabrigo cardigan to finish up for my daughter and the Winter White Schnibble to hand quilt. Both are singularly inappropriate now that the temperature is up around 30 degrees, but at least I should make a fair bit of progress. Who knows, maybe I &#8216;ll even get them finished.<\/p>\n<p>Happy stitching and adieu for now&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Helen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s been a lot of serious heavy-duty stitching going on around here over the last couple of days, which did result in more house and garden neglect&#8230;, but I did at least remember to feed the children!!
