Over at Pauline's house we laid a couple of sheets on the carpet and spread out the quilt. It's quite 'flexible' whilst wet. When it looked right, I measured the diagonals, they were just one inch off. So so little adjustment to get the diagonals even, all that's needed is a little lifting with a slight pull and then lowering again. I didn't pin it at the edges as it didn't need any strong stretching in any direction to make it square. I've left it in her closed room with a couple of fans on it to collect it on Monday when it should be dry.

It's absolutely fabulous Sally. I did indeed click on the image to see the quilting and was uber impressed. I think you may have a winner here!!
ReplyDeleteSally...you've outdone yourself again...It is stunning! Will it be making any public appearances say at Malvern or Festival of Quilts?

ReplyDeleteSally, you are a true artist! I am astonished at the remarkable work that you have put into this quilt. Good luck, I hope this quilt is a winner! :)
ReplyDeleteSally, BEUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUtiful! I love the fabric selections and the pattern is stunning. Will you publishing a pattern for this. What an amazing gift you have. I am certain this is an award winning quilt. Have you entered it in any contests, yet? Thank you again for sharing (:
ReplyDeleteSally - It appears to have a piped binding. I want to use one on a show quilt, but the only techinques I have found are to machine stitch it down (and I am a stickler for hand stitching bindings). Did you use a particular technique on your binding?
