Half way to a completed quilt top


Ok, this photo is one jigsaw piece away from being half way through, but it now is half way through to having a completed quilt top. The quilt seems bigger than I was expecting it to be, given that it is a twin size, but that's probably a good thing.

This is a picture of the back of the quilt, which I strangely like. I often think that when you hold up a quilt to the light, they look better the long way round, when you can see the folds and joins and the double layer of fabric.

I'm still really pleased with how this is coming along. It's looking good. But it's about to really slow down. We're moving house and I'm too exhausted to keep sewing during the night. So who knows when I'll manage to complete it. I'll probably miss it and have to carry on in the odd minutes that the little Miss lets me. Typically I can hear that she has just woken up and is cooing quite happily in her cot, so I've got a little bit of time before I need to go and attend to her. If I were sewing, that would equate to a few more centimetres of stitches. But I need to cut more fabric and that involves finding my cutting mat and rotary cutter so at the moment I'm a little bit stuck.
