quilter?

It's too depressing, it's like failure in fabric, I'll never finish it, it's a shame you people don't live nearby, I could hand it on to somebody to finish. It's an amish churn dash style pattern.

ohhhhhh

kadar they are both hand done. the red,wite and ble is a patter I got off quilters cache I think is the name,its a buzz saw or something. it was difficult block to do. I had to look at the pattern for evry block. I quilt using hoops. I know mine look quite puckered but its ok with me. I think it adds character!lol I really like your patern with the rectangle blocks with the matching trim.

So, this is the quilt I started. Somebody suggested stitching it like that. Then I did the plain blue squares with squares. Couldn't really decide how it should be done. Thought it looked horrible, blah blah blah.

I could do some when it cools down again, if I could convince my dog and one of my cats to stay away and not leap on it when I pick it up. Yeh, fat chance

I think it looks fine. I like lots of color. besides it will be one of a kind and its yours!

like lots of color.

The flash makes it look brighter than it is in real life. It's not really meant to be colourful. The amish have plain things, just "sneak in" some colour (apparently, according to the information when I picked out the quilt to do from a book)

I think it is very pretty and I think you should finish it. Oh your in your summer, as we are in our winter, I'll gladly swap!!! What is your winter weather like?

What is your winter weather like?

Very mild (the coldest it would ever get, in the middle of the night, is about 5C), and as I've gotten older, I don't feel the cold at all, I don't think I even got the doona out last winter, I just use a light quilt when it's chilly at night. I wish I lived in Scandinavia or Minnesota or somewhere all snowy (but then, you'd have central heating, so you still wouldn't want to be stuck under a quilt.

You've inspired me to give it another go (but then, I'd decided that last winter, fished it out and didn't put in one stitch). I just found it very laborious and cumbersome.

Your temp is about what we are experiencing during the day and 0 celsius at night, so it's not too cold for me it's COLD. My brother and his family live in Alaska go visit them, we did but during the summer, not brave enough to go in winter.I love snow but prefer to go to it and it not come to me, so living in Georgia we can get snow but usually not much.
