Finished...........

...... well, almost.  I've still got to put the binding on.  This is the quilt that Dad claimed at the end of last year.  It was made from a jelly roll and a pattern from Kim Brackett's book "Scrap Basket Surprises" and I quilted it yesterday.
I used an allover design which was chosen by Professor, who happened to be here when I was trying to decide what pattern to use.  It is somewhat more dense quilting than I usually do but I am very happy with the result, and so was Big Bertha I think, cos she didn't skip any stitches at all!

    Very tasty m'dear and a nice density of quilting. No wonder you have been quiet this week (but then, I've not been much better {grin})

    Very nice! I like the density of the quilting. It will be wonderful when it is washed.
    Kim's book is great.

    Good choice the Professor, the simple piecing suits a more complex quilting design. The whole quilt is gorgeous.

    This quilt is very striking no wonder it was claimed before it was finished, and then the quilting, oh my I love those little droplet sized hearts!
