Nearly done on a dark day.


It's so dark this week.


I have finally pieced the pinwheels cot quilt. The week before Christmas is not a good time for this sort of thing. What should be a fairly relaxed process becomes a bit frantic and not particularly enjoyable. 
However the end is in sight.



I have quilted the blocks with a large 4 petal flower motif that i discovered on Pinterest. If you go to my Pinterest you will see it in the quilt board.


You can see the design in the image above. 
This is a great motif if you don't want to free machine as it can be done with a normal foot and the feed dogs up.



The binding is all sewn down ready to be hand stitched on the sofa tonight. I will post an image of the finished quilt tomorrow which i think might be the shortest day of the year, and also the darkest. 

The sun did shine on a couple of occasions last week and here is the proof.


This is Honey loitering/sun bathing in a small patch of winter sun in the garden.
