I used the same pattern as I used here. That quilt was hand pieced and hand quilted. This one will be machine quilted and it will have a 12" border in a beautiful silk fabric, which I have yet to wash. I plan to put it in the machine on a silk wash with a mild detergent but I`m a little worried about drying it....any tips? For the backing, it will be made up of panels using the silk and some of the Liberty fabrics too - just because they are so lovely and will help prevent the quilt sliding off the bed!
I would like to get the quilt finished next week so that I can post it to Deborah in Paris before I leave for Morocco. My Ryanair allowance won`t stretch to taking it home!
Hope you have plans for a great weekend!

Very impressive - a flag that is done correctly. So you and I were sewing the same sort of thing at the same time. Funny! Love yours. Looks really good and what the girl getting it should be thrilled.
That’s a beautiful Union Jack quilt Annabella!

this is so lovely. The Liberty fabrics are so luscious and so expensive! Nice job!
