Wow, Fishy. That is looking really something already!
I love the border/joining strips too. They give a very ‘leaded light’ effect.
It’s going to be an Heirloom.

The new knitting competition on telly last night was nowhere near the level of the heirloom quilt
It looks great

I saw that programme advertised, Twellsy, but I didn’t watch it.
Not sure that it would hold much for me.

It includes a free bonus Tom Daley (sp?) which is more than enough reason to give it a swerve for me. Ghastly baby-buying misogynistic prancing little tit.
But the bedspread is beginning to look very fine indeed.

Looks fab, Gus. I lurve violas of any sort, as I may have mentioned.

A post was merged into an existing topic: So, who wants to help … to cavort in the cellar?
Beautiful, Gus. I won’t be in any hurry to attempt anything that tiny & detailed.
Not that a yardarm is unwelcome anywhere, but have you got a bit lost this morning?

I was at a convention this weekend, and took the proto-bedspread with me. Half a dozen people whose opinions on craftwork I value were flatteringly admiring in the Art Show, where it was put out on an unclaimed table for display.
Phew. Because people here are too close to it to have an objective view.

Welcome home, Fishy.
I am only surprised that you haven’t been knitting all night trying to finish it.

It’s useful if I am awake in the middle of the night, but I don’t set out to do it then.

It’s a swippery swope, Fishy…
My Mother would stay up all night sewing to finish something, or spend all night icing cakes. Yes, it’s quiet, yes you get lots done , but you don’t actually get much rest.
I used to do the all night sewing thing myself. Icing cakes was never my forté though.
