Jelly Breakfast Complete

I have spent the last two days binding my Jelly Breakfast quilt. I first shared this quilt in January 2011 so it's rather pleasing to have it finished at last.


 I used a Whimsy jelly roll  by Fig Tree and ...

lots of Fig Tree Cream to construct the blocks and sashings.


My lovely friend Leanne did the machine quilting ... she always does a fabulous job.


I love the backing fabric with the childhood evoking text.


Here's a closer look ... so cute.


I think I like the back nearly as much ...

 
as the front.
 

I have been enjoying reading all the comments on my last post. It is really interesting to find out where my readers live and the types of things they like to see on blogs. Like me, nice 'quilty' pictures seem to attract you ... tutorials also seem to be popular. (I 'pin' the ones I like into Pinterest so I can find them again easily.) I have also discovered some 'new to me' blogs ... fun.  You still have time to enter the giveaway if you would like to .. it is open until midnight Wed 4th January. Happy New Year.
