Hi everyone! Number five is finished! The blue bottom thread arrived in good time for the weekend and I managed to finish the quilting late last night. I’m so pleased I used blue for the back now, even though I questioned this decision last weekend when I couldn’t finish it. I was really quite concerned that I wouldn’t be able to find the same thread again as I’d used a pre-wound bobbin from a set of 12 different ones bought by DH for Christmas. Thankfully it turned out alright in the end, thanks to the wonders of the internet 
This is the back. I attached the cream binding to the front by machine and then hand stitched it to the back of the quilt this morning.
I pieced the back with blue and cream to inject a bit of interest and I wanted to show off the swirls on both colours. Here is the finished quilt.
I’m also busy with an autumnal jelly roll quilt top which I started while I was waiting for my thread for this one. I’ve taken a few photos so there might be a tutorial coming up soon. I just have to put the blocks together and the top will be done It’s been quite a productive week considering I’ve been at work……

One day, I might do a whole quilt from a plain piece of fabric. I’ll have to improve the quilting first though! Still loving your tatting by the way
