Well, I never thought I'd see the day!!!  My best friend is a quilting goddess and I am always in awe of the beautiful quilts that she creates.  I have been getting more and more into my sewing lately but have always said that I would never ever venture into making quilts as they just looked like SO much work!!  How wrong was I!!  Well, they are a bit of work but I'm sure once you get used to it it is a little quicker.  So I decided to make my mum a lap quilt for Mothers Day.  I started with a practice quilt - thank goodness as I stuffed it so many times that I kind of just ended up doing my own design haha!  Its a lot smaller than originally intended so I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with it but I'll finish it eventually.  I really wanted to get started on my mum's quilt as I'm going on holidays in two weeks and only get back on mother's day.  So, here is the quilt top so far.  I got this done in 2 days - well not 2 full days - about 1/2 day on Sunday and then a few hours on Monday evening.  I'm so impressed that it has only taken me that long. It still needs the sashing/borders/binding etc but I'm still debating what colours to use for that.
