or at least the pile of washing (clean)!! i finished a couple of days ago but have been unable to take photos because of the weather - anyone would think it was winter here. i woke this morning to pretty sunlight. 'bring me my camera' i demanded.
first shot (be prepared - i am showing this baby off in every way possible!)
100 squares
the plains
the border - i bordered. thank you for all your comments - it was unanimous. and sorry kay - its staying right here!
close up. a sweet easy little pattern. i wanted something decorative but not too fussy.
and the label. i love this doing this part.
just one more! and again i want to thank chris for her beautiful pattern.
and now to that washing that is out of your sight! happy weekend x
absolutely gorgeous,I would like to hibernate all winter under it

Wauw!! It looks fabulous - and you are so fast. It feels like yesterday, when you asked whether to make a border or not (it turned out great by the way).
You must feel so satisfied by looking at this fantastic and huge job you made...So well made!

Just beautiful - and the border finishes it off perfectly! Well done - hope you have time to curl up under its magnificence with a cuppa and a craft book to peruse.
