Finally, my picnic quilt, which I started at the beginning of April at the Scrub Stitchin' retreat, is done and dusted. To have a quilt completely finished in just two months is nearly, but not quite, a record for me. The only change to the original design was to add the grey floral border, which finishes it off nicely and makes it fit the bed a bit better.
It has a lovely soft, summery feel to it. Quite the opposite to the weather here at the moment, which is getting rather wintry, but that is to be expected, as tomorrow is the official start to winter. I can see this being used on our bed in the summer, or in the caravan for a holiday feel.
Julie did a lovely job on the quilting. The swirls suit the design perfectly.
I very happy to have a finish for Peg and Kris on OPAM and have met my May OMG. I'm linking up here.
Now I have to decide what my goal will be for June.
