Cotton Blossoms Quilt

Yes, its done! I finished it on Tuesday, and thought I had better get a pic up to show you all....... though not a real crash hot pic - I could have ironed it first huh??!! I really like the red binding:


This pic is straight after I took it off my quilt frame:

I quilted using a cream/red/brown variegated thread. Here is a couple of close ups of my quilting - freehand swirls and stars...... my favourite!



It is raining here today and it is cold - AND my heat pump has not been working since we had a power failure on Friday night......... BRRRRR Luckily we have another small heater right by our study lol

Looks great and I wouldn't worry about not being ironed as I think this is a new trend amongst bloggers :)
