The last time I made a quilt for a person was in GCSE design (so over 20 years ago) and it was pretty naff, and I had quite a lot of help with it.
I am secretly a bit pleased with myself that I've actually managed to pull this off. I know it's a cheater (so less sewing all round) but I did quilt it and bind it, and the binding looks really professional - much to my amazement and thanks in large part to a video tutorial I watched on YouTube.
This finished quilt is by no means perfect, it's a bit wonky in places, which I suppose you could say adds a bit of character.
It's currently in the washing machine and I'm petrified that I'm going to ruin it. I used natural wool batting and I'm washing it on a cool wool wash with wool detergent in the hope that It doesn't come out all lumpy. eek!

It looks fabulous! That cheater fabric is so cool!
It looks lovely. Would never known it was a "cheater" panel!
What a lucky little boo.
Nice job, Vanessa!

Glad you posted a picture of it, I wanted to see it after we talked about it on Saturday :-)
I didn't know you could make such beautiful quilts. I'm impressed.
