Handmade Monday is here again and this week I actually made it. Phew.

Finally this is almost finished, I have one edge left to bind.  It is specifically for my daughter as a throw for her huge settee in the conservatory which is choccy brown leather.  I made it quilt and go which means, to the uninitiated, each square is made complete with wadding and backing before attaching to the main article. It is 50% machine sewn and 50% hand sewn.  All the little coloured squares are just left overs from my stash.  In fact, I started it by sewing the small squares together as an experiment and it grew from there.







This is just one of a good number of lovely blogs to meander through for Handmade Monday so why not pop along to  1stuniquegifts/blog and sus the others out.  You will definately enjoy the experience.

    Carole the quilt is fantastic, my sofa's are dreadful so you have now inspired me to get stitching. When I get my machine back that is!

    You are being a productive little person at the moment aren't you?:) I love this quilt, something I've never tried but the idea that it will be kept as a real family keepsake so appeals

    That's a lovely throw. Makes me kinda wish for colder weather so that you could just snuggle under it. Anything that makes the cold outside worth it! Well done, great make and thanks for sharing!!

    It looks great it must have taken ages to make especially with those tiny squares. I'm gonna show this to my mum and see if she'll make me one! x
