My creative space…

You want an update on the wedding quilt, don’t you?  Believe it or not, the top is completely pieced.

I’ve cut off all the extra little triangles that were hanging off each side, and the final quilt top is plenty big enough for a queen sized bed. I’ve bought the batting and now I’m waiting for the backing fabric to arrive. I’ll have to piece it together to get adequate width, so might make a long feature strip with offcuts from the front. Then to baste it – I’m hoping to get that professionally done, because I really don’t fancy crawling around on the floor trying to put hundreds of pins into a queen sized quilt. I will be quilting it myself though! The wedding is on the 16th October, so pressure is beginning to mount.
