I'm not sure I have much left to say about this quilt.
I started it back in August last year,
about ten months ago.
It is the Dotty Mc Potty pattern by Irene Blanck
at Focus On Quilts.
I made my own trailing vine-type border rather
than the one in the pattern.
It was obvious that I was running out of low-volume
background fabric so a dear blogging friend,
Karen at Sunburnt Quilts came to my rescue.
I found a vintage sheet in my stash for the backing,
bought for me, I think, by my sister!
Yesterday my husband and I drove to Daylesford to see
a quilt show (the less said the better!)
Then onto Taradale to do some family history research
at the cemetery.
for my photos.
I machine-quilted some long stitching around the blocks
and sashing,
before adding lots and lots of hand quilting.
It's probably one of my favourite quilts!
It was a joy to make!
