I learned a few lessons quilting this one. Stitch in the ditch and echo is just too time consuming for such a large project. Quilt as you go would definitely have been a better choice. Although this fabric was not my choice but came with the magazine, polyester cotton does not lend itself very well to quilting as it does not have any stretch whatsoever. So, as a result there is plenty of puckers. Definitely not a show piece, but it will keep my son warm.
I did not realise when I started quilting it that it would keep me busy for almost 6 months. In my defense, my husband broke his femur in April just when I started it and my mother had been in hospital for 2 months as well. I sandwiched it September 2015 and just put it on hold until I finally plucked up enough courage to quilt it. Concentrating on one block at a time finally got me through it.
For the back I used sheeting and utilized the leftovers for the binding
and added this label I embroidered.
