3,2,1... Tools Down... Quilt Completed!

Over the last two years, I have been working on a king size quilt for our bed. It was a huge task! One of my first blogs was of a jelly roll that I purchased. That was the start of this quilt.

The pattern comes from a Jelly Roll Quilting book. It was not a difficult quilt to make but there were moments that were tricky. This was due to its enormous size! There were 5 of us to join the pieces together and make sure it was all glued well (2 of these people were 6ft 11 and were very useful because of their long arms). Then I had to machine quilt the layers, which I chose to do by sewing 'in the ditch'. Although there were a couple of tricky moments, I am very pleased with the finished quilt and it makes me actually want to make the bed each morning!
