Not exactly sure how I'll quilt it - might need to see if I can beg/borrow a hand quilting hoop from someone so I can give that a go. I'm sure my stitching will need work! Anyway, its progressing.
Been a bit topsy-turvy in the emotion department - very concerned about Grumpy-George's heart failure (this is the diagnosis finally). I'm worrying more because Mum is worried, but it also occurred to me yesterday that I just don't want him to die just yet. He's been my step-dad/Dad for 27 years now. I only had 16 with my biological Dad with about 4 years estrangement. Anyway, I love him and don't want him going and dying any time soon - he's 67 and gets a bit stroppy when people try to tell him what to do - including doctors regardless of his best interests at heart. So excuse any teary-ness observed - its sometimes hard for a leopard to change his shorts.

Carolyn,
looks fantastic. By the way you don't necessarily need a quilting hoop to quilt, you can do "big stitch" quilting with Perle cotton thread, just a normal running stitch really.
That looks very promising Ryn :) *hugs*
Hello!
I love your quilt! Beautiful colors! I think you may find that you like the hand quilting. I find it very relaxing and when you look at what you have done as you go along it is quite an accomplishment!
Wishing you a great week!
Hugs,
Barbara Diane
