My latest output:
Top is 100% cotton by Bassetti, backing is fleece, machine assembled, hand quilted. My MIL was quite thrown by this present though I doubt she knows how many hours went into it (despite her son reiterating something about "months and months ...").
It's done and I am relieved and can now move on to other things. Secretly, I am amazed at the relief I feel from having completed this one. Usually, I dread finishing quilts because they have grown to be such a constant part of my evenings and a great challenge as well. It must have something to do with the simplicity of the job (not so much of the result), the recipient and the time pressure. Commission work must feel akin to this.
But with all those projects out of my way, I'm hoping to be more positive about my crafting and more regular at quilting.

Congrats on your finish. It's beautiful. I know those Bassetti linens. My ex MIL was also crazy about them. Was it hard to needle through that fine-weave sheet fabric?
p.s. what town are you in/near. I've spent a lot of time on the Schwäbische Alb, with my former in-laws.
