Excuse the pile of unsorted laundry on the bed, but I felt like an update was sorely needed and this was the only picture that I had available. Once upon a time the aim was to get this quilt completed by Christmas but that is not going to happen. I had a schedule mapped out on my phone and everything! Broken down into completing 2 or three jigsaw pieces and sewing them onto the main quilt every week. I'm lucky if I get one done.
We've moved into our new house and I'm still unpacking boxes and trying to make it feel like home. I have a few boxes to go but we're almost there. It looks like home but has yet to feel like it.
As for the quilt, I'm one or two jigsaw pieces off being three quarters of the way done in terms of assembling the patchwork top piece. It's looking good and the colours are quite calming. I've noticed a couple of mistakes where a little piece of fabric which should be on the back has made its way to the front. I've managed to tuck these in and will just have to be careful to make sure that this is sewn in when it comes to actually quilting the top. In this photo, the quilt top is draped over a double bed. In terms of width, it just fits on top with no extra fabric to go over the sides. Length wise, there won't be a problem. I'm still surprised at how big the twin size is! I thought it would be considerably smaller. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, it means that it can be used in more situations and comfortably cover different beds, but it does mean that it is taking a while to complete. And in the meantime, I have two more on the back burner - fabric bought for one, colour inspiration chosen for the other but I haven't bought the fabric yet.
