finally finished


I have finally finished a quilt that I have been making on and off for a few years. This one is for me. It isn't huge and I have made it to use in our lounge, to hang over the Ercol sofa which is nearly finished. Its all down to me now, when I can find foam at a good price and able to be cut to shape, I will get the cushions made. But it is now being used with the original cushions and a throw to cover them. 
This quilt is made from single log cabin blocks, backed with a vintage bed sheet and hand quilted in brown thread. 
I am happy with the finished product. Most of the fabric was bought years ago whilst visiting New York.
