J'ai fini! Enfin!

Sit down, Thimbleanna. No, your eyes do not deceive you. Yes, as I warned you by email - I've finished my quilt!!!!! I know it's the simplest quilt in the world and it is slightly inaccurate in bits but hey: it's done. Thank you so much for giving me the cutting mat, the big ruler thing, the rotary cutter and lots of material - thus coercing me into doing it - and thank you, too, for the online tutorials. It's prettier (in my opinion) than it looks here, where the colours are dimmed by the flash of my phone camera.

This is the back. (It doesn't have a missing corner; the corner just flopped down at the vital moment.) Can you see the two joins? I thought not. (Bows.) Mr L assisted with the pattern matching of the back, one sideways and one longways. He also assisted in the interpretation of the little video showing the use of the binding tool to join the two ends of binding. It worked well.

I bought a walking foot for the binding, by the way - thanks to Gina and others who recommended this.

 Daughter 2 emerged from being the holder-upper to test it out with her dad.

This is more like the actual colour, though it's not quite as bright as it looks here. I don't know why I don't get Mr L, who has good cameras, to take a decent photo of it. I meant to take one outside today but didn't get round to it.

Anyway - I feel a bit ridiculous being so pleased at having achieved something that you proper quilters could do in a weekend while knitting a pair of socks and crocheting some Granny squares but... now I can go and ice my Christmas cakes.
