Finished

I've finished a few projects this week. First up, I joined another bee, the Simply Solids: a modern Bee, and this is the first month I've had to make blocks for it. Patti asked for this winged square block, it was super quick to put together so I made 2.

 Then I got on and made this whirlygig for Karen's month in the HipBees.
So with my bee commitments out the way I got on and finished the Marcelle Medallion quilt! I think it is my most favourite quilt ever. I was all set to take some nice photos outside when the heaven's opened...grrr. Instead I just took some dodgy shots around the house.
On the sofa
 It's quite a big quilt, definitely a great size for snuggling under while scoffing chocolate :)
On the bannister
On the bed
 I machine quilted a few straight lines around the borders, enough to fix it in place and then set to it with some lime green perle thread.
 I bound it with a brush stroke print from Summersville and backed it with my go to favourite, Nummer, from Ikea.
 You can't beat a pretty folded quilt :)
I'm quite sad that this one is finished now, I think I might have to make another soon! Catch you soon x
