Quilting update.

I previously posted about the sewing group I have joined who are making a quilt for Llanyravon Manor.  We are making good progress with the sewing and are now joining the many pieces together.  These are photos of the group taken in May when we had just started the process of bringing it all together


Couldn't fit everybody in one picture




This day we were trying to decide which way to join all the pieces. There are so many options.  I preferred the one above but I was in the minority so the one at the bottom is what we are doing. 


This photo taken on Tuesday shows the progress.  It is coming along really well. 

One of the women brought a quilt in to show us that she has been making for many years, she said about 20! Yes they are often long term projects but well worth it in the end.  Gail, standing on the right is the one who is making it.  So lovely. 


I am thinking of starting one of my own, using the pattern Gail is doing rather than the diamonds in the one we are doing.  Maybe a small one! Bought several fabrics this week so deciding which ones to use.  Maybe the top left as I bought two packs of that one.
