So, it was Mum's birthday last Sunday which meant i had to get cracking and finish her quilt, luckily for me she went on holiday so i had a few extra days to dither about it! Lisa came over for our sewing day on Monday and helped me layer it up and then i spent the day quilting it.
I went for a very simple "in the ditch" quilting, just round the kaleidoscope blocks, i did think about doing the same round the red border as well but i decided not to in the end, although depending how much it plays on my mind i might well steal it back and do it at some point!
I used a black bias tape for the binding as i didn't have enough of the border fabric to make my own and the my original plan of using the backing to bind it didn't work out as i hated the red border, i think it looks much better with the dark border and all the red "contained".
I delivered it at Quiz Night on Thursday and she loves it :oD
