Apologies for the unusually long silence since the last post. Realised it had got out of hand when a friend emailed to check everything was OK.

It’s coming along pretty well, actually; have been reading up on quilting blogs for all the different stages involved (sooooooo much preparation), and it’s nearly finished. When it’s done, I’ll upload some photos as have so enjoyed the project. But it has sucked up all the time usually spent on this blog….
