All quilted out!

Hooray! I've finished quilting the 'Turning Twenty' quilt! I made it, in no small part, thanks to the encouragement I got from fellow bloggers. Thanks for telling me how close I was to the end - it was actually true. The last quarter was the smallest - I know you mathematicians out there will say that all quarters are exactly the same - but in this case I'd done an extra circle or two on the ends of rows, which certainly made a difference to the final section.


Here it is, amidst the clutter in my bedroom.
I read an article in the paper recently which said that a scientific study had proved that people look more attractive after you have had a couple of alcoholic drinks! But it went on to warn that after several drinks, the effect increased, so if you overdo it, you might wake up in the morning next to Bubbles DeVere, who is a very ugly character in 'Little Britain'! So, I have decided to call this quilt 'Just call me Bubbles, darling' in honour of the character and the quilting motif. If the writers of the series find out, do you think they will be pleased?!

There is also a weird character named Bubbles in a Canadian show called Trailer Park Boys. It's funny if you don't mind a lot of swearing. I have seen Little Britain only once but want to catch more of it. The quilt is beautiful, no matter what the name.

I love the colours - congratulations on the finish.

I think the 2 "boys" would love it that a quilt has been named after Bubbles. Perhaps you should get in touch with them? They probably need cheering up after the dreadful USA series.
