A Quilt for my grown up Grandson...

Remember these?  
Now they are this!!!
My grandson wanted woodland colours and kind of camouflage and I think you'll agree it is!
I hand sewed all the piecing and thoroughly enjoyed sewing it
 

It is very satisfying and quite soothing hand sewing the pieces together.
I did a lot sitting outside in the garden in the beautiful weather.

The quilting is machined and I have just cross hatched diagonally across the blocks and through the middles and then in the ditch around the sashing.
And having watched a utube on quilt binding several times I have at last got the hang of perfecting the mitred corners, so I am really pleased with myself. 
He has seen it while I was still making it and likes it and is taking it to UNI with him after getting 3 'A' s.
 
Whew!!!!
 
I LOVE QUILTING!!!

I must thank everyone who wished me well last week, I don't think I have ever been so ill before, but am properly well now. Dh is relieved too as we both had a dreadful scare.
