FINALLY!!!!!
I spent the majority of Sunday getting the quilt for my Parents finished.
It is amazing, I love it, but not enough to believe it warranted all the hard work! I believe I am going to stick to cards and clothes!
I followed this superb tutorial and there isn't really that much I would do differently.
It's far to painful to get into the detail of the pinning, the cutting, the ironing, the turning and the sheer physical pain of quilting it together...did I mention the pinning?!
Here are a few more photos that document the latter stages..including my furry helpers!

| The trim all pinned onto the nicely furry Quilt - thanks Archie! |

| Boscat and the finished Quilt...2 mins later she was on it! |
It has been handed over to my folks, who love it, so that almost makes it alright!
Thing is I can't quite say never again, as Quilt number 2 needs to be finished...sometime between now and retirement!
