In answer to Mary’s Comment.

 

When I first started this quilt my children were very young and it was going to be a cot quilt. however as it took me so long to do my children grew so it progresses to a single quilt. Then it went onto become a double quilt and then it was put away for a lot of years.

We then packed up home and left for Crete. Me taking along my quilt, however now we have a king-sized bed, so it had to grow accordingly. If you look at the photos you can see the various stages.

This is the centre and the cot size

SV203372

The blue band takes it to single bed size

SV203373

The flowers take it to double bed size

SV203374

And finally the double blue takes it to king –size.

This is what I sat doing last night.

Taking out loads of tacking and papers. Some of these papers have been in the quilt for donkey years.
