Another Quilt

After my recent attempt at a small quilt, I discovered that I had a fair few patches left, and then my good friend Clare at  Selfsewn  (quilt maker extraordinaire) sent me a fabulous packet of beautiful fabrics too, so I decided to make a bigger quilt.  

 I am more enthusiastic than skilled at patchwork quilting and I did find the size of this one very difficult to handle.  But for all it's imperfections, I do love it.

It contains new fabric, vintage fabric, and some from old garments with plenty of memories attached.  I found some wadding at Dunelm Mills that already had some backing attached to it which made life easier!  I don't think I'd tackle anything this big again, and I can see what I did wrong along the way, so hopefully won't make the same mistakes again.  

It is very cosy to snuggle under though.
