The ultimate accolade

I have got back to my Bonnie Hunter 'Kiss in the Corner' and it's now a top! I want to get it finished for our local group's forthcoming exhibition, so need to layer it up asap.



I'm really pleased with it, and love the way the Friendship Stars show up so well. Mind you, in traditional manner, a few of those little star points jumped around before I had chance to sew them, and have turned into Friendship Splats! I was going to undo them, but in the end (in true Master of Patience? fashion!) I have left them in. I'm sure you can pick them out, but in case you can't, here's one.


This has given me a name for the quilt - 'Nobody's Perfect'! I took it to my Tuesday group, and people were very kind, and made lots of positive comments about the quilt. All except June, who stood for a moment gazing at it, before she said, 'I just want to eat it!' I would say that was the ultimate accolade. Thanks, June!

I love it! I'm headed over to Bonnie's website to find that one right now. What a great way to use some of my huge pile of scraps. And the name is "perfect"!

It's great and unpicking would have been a definite no-no and not in the spirit of this top!

I love it just the way it is and look forward to seeing it. I wonder if I will have anything finished to show.
