pink zig zag quilt - finished

I finished sewing the binding of the pink zig zag quilt yesterday afternoon whilst watching the tennis from Queen's. Joanna kindly held it up for me to take a photo of it. Love it! Love. Love. Love it!!

But what's this? A certain small dog was sitting watching wondering why she wasn't getting her photo taken!

I know! I'll bomb this photo by jumping up on the quilt! good save, Joanna! :oD

We managed to get Tilly to sit on the chair by promising that she would be in this photo. Isn't she sweet? Butter wouldn't melt and all that! :oD

Quilt details:
Finished measurements: approx 46" x 46" /116 cm x 116 cm
All cotton fabrics on the front.
Bright pink polyester fleece on the back.
Binding: a stripy pink and white cotton from my stash which matches the fleece (unbelievably) perfectly.
Verdict: I love it. I will be making another as soon as possible in blues or blues & greens or blues & purples or a mixture of all of those!

    Love the quilt! Not so sure about the photo of Tilly jumping on me/the quilt, though! The pheasant also looks well and truly dead in that photo. Poor thing! :D

    A great finish Anne! That Tilly is always such a joy to read about and see. I'm sorry she jumped up on Joanna but I think she is just the cutest!

    I'm not surprised you're pleased with it, it's really lovely, and Tilly is just beautiful too, but I've got a case of the wanties now after seeing Joanna's slippers, how cute are they.

      Thanks, Jo. Joanna's slippers are always fun. I'm surprised Tilly hasn't chewed them to bits - yet! :oD

    I love it! It turned out so beautifully, you must be so pleased with the results....btw Tilly is so cute. My dog feels very ignored if I sew for too long so she starts carrying my sewing supplies away so I will retrieve then from her.

      LOL Tilly decided my pincushion was very interesting the other day. Luckily, I got it from her before she could do herself any damage!!

    Your finished quilt looks wonderful. It appears that Tilly's claimed it, he he.

      LOL I think she wanted to know what Joanna was doing with it and why I was taking photos of it and not her! :oD
