my finished quilt
I realised that I never provided any nice "finished" pictures of my quilt. It was finished last Christmas in the midst of the uproar of moving overseas. Our flat in Amsterdam doesn't have a laundry line, which was always my favourite place to take full-size pictures of quilts, so the folded and on-the-bed versions will have to do.

It's been in regular usage and I love it so much, that, well, as predicted, it's just not going to end up on the ground in the park for picnics. Also, a double-bed size quilt seems too bulky for carrying to picnics. Maybe my next quilt will be smaller and destined for picnics. But first I must find myself a sewing machine over here! I miss it so much for little fixes to grandiose new project ideas.

It is beautiful!
I am about to attempt my first quilt - the same design as yours but using fabric from my daughter’s childhood dresses.
May I ask what size were your patchwork squares? And what are the dimensions of your finished quilt please? Was the double size very difficult to manage?
Again, congratulations it is gorgeous!
I think they were 4.5" squares including seam allowance, so 4" finished. It was quite a feat to quilt. I remember having to roll it like a carpet to fit through my machine. Have fun!
