I photographed the quilt yesterday and to my horror I found a mistake, one of the pieces of a block were the wrong way round.......today I will unpick it and put it back in right. A suggestion has been made that I use navy fabric to bind the quilt, well I have spent enough on this quilt without having to buy more for the binding, so sorry, pale blue it is. I am not that much of a perfectionist. This morning I found a second patch near the bottom which was also the wrong way round.
So gas cooker ordered, delivery next Thursday. I have had the headboard on freecycle, no one wants it so it will also go towards money for the charity. Cannot do with it hanging about any longer.
Fine morning, but cold, have the washer on, will hang it on the line to dry, window open in the bedroom , radiator off.... need to remember to put it back on when I close the window.
Fish and chips for supper tonight, possibly chocolate mousse for dessert.
Update:
So I have undone the two squares and turned them, took me half an hour to do each one, then I measured the quilt and the backing. I really do not need to tell you that the backing was only 1 1/2" longer then the quilt, and it needed to be joined. I decided to join it and then put it on the back across ways instead of up and down, so it can be turned over and swivelled round and the footballers will be the right way round. I am going to join the fabric using a very tiny green zig zag stitch, I will then trim off the inside seam and press it before putting the whole thing together. I hate matching fabric.....its about a 4" match.
Finished for today.......back and shoulders are giving me hell just now.
