I am still struggling with deciding on the lay-out of this quilt which has to be finished by mid-November.
Maybe a scribble with coloured pencils will help ...
High time, don't you think!?

This is my quilting blog. I was infected by the Quilting virus in 2002 whilst living in Manchester. The real one, not Bartlet's. The one where Marx and Engels became rather unpopular with the local crowd. Anyway, I'm rambling ... as I often do.

(8) DONE - by someone else ;-) IKEA fabric for a table cloth and matching seat cushions
(9) ivy leaf fabric to be turned into a table cloth
(10) ONE DONE, one in the works, four more to deal with: a gazillion of Bassetti panels to be turned into bed throws
