Finally I have finished the patchwork quilt I have been making for the
red guest room. It is a real memory quilt as many of the fabrics have
been recycled from favourite items of clothing or fabrics bought on
holiday. The strips between each of the 9 squares came from an old duvet
cover, as did the handmade bias binding that finishes the edges. I’m
not sure it would win any prizes for execution but I am really pleased
with the overall look of the quilt – I hope my guests find it warm and
cosy, especially on these snowy days!
