This is one of those TA-DA moments. So be warned, I have LOTS of pictures to share :-)
I hope you enjoyed seeing my latest finish.
I am really proud of this quilt, from designing, cutting, piecing, basting, quilting and binding, it was a fun quilt to make. I mainly used the same free motion quilting designs throughout this quilt, which includes swirls, pebbles, some dot to dot diamond variations and in the border an arch/cathedral window type of design.
The finial dimensions after quilting is 65 inches x 85 inches.
If you'd like to read up on the making of this quilt, it can be found HERE, HERE and HERE. I designed this quilt myself and the pattern is available in my Craftsy Store, its also displayed on the left sidebar of my blog.

Ek is nie nie 'n kwilter nie, (is 'n gewoonte hekelaar), maar ek was nog altyd lus om te probeer. So een soos joune is 'n inspirasie, en kan 'n goeie manier wees om die reslappies wat ek jare opgaar te benut!
