This was quite fun to make as whilst there was a pattern it did leave some space for creativity; firstly in the range of fabrics and secondly in the cloud arrangement.
The clouds were made separately, quilted on their own (with whatever swirls took my fancy) and then top-stitched onto the quilt.
It then had to be handquilted, using embroidery thread, so that the lines on the top stopped at the clouds but continued on the back. It was arduous, and whilst some of the lines are clearly all over the shop it does add to the "home crafted" effect!!
Probably my biggest project to date but really satisfying. I hope the recipient likes it!
Impressive!
