It's still a work in progress. I need to finish the free motion quilting (my first attempt) and apply the bias tape, which I'm kinda excited about because i can use my new bias tape maker.
When it's done I'll make up the cot, tidy up a bit, fluff some cushions and take some pics to share. But for today, i must finish hand sewing the binding on the long suffering unfinished quilt in my bedroom.
Lucky find indeed! Oh, the effort that used to go into the humble tablecloth!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to re-purpose it into a quilt. Do you already have a little girl or is she on the way??

Wow, that's a golden treasure you unearthed. Isn't it just wonderful when you rescue something like this? I think you are clever to think of repurposing it into a quilt. Looking forward to those photos when done!
