Spiral Burst - complete

I finally finished this quilt a few weeks ago.  It is such a huge quilt that I just did straight stitching in grey for the quilting.  Then I added diagonal lines as well and ended up with a diamond pattern.  For the binding I used up the last of the bargello strips by just unpicking the previous stitching and sewing them together in one long strip.

Homestead Quilt 6

Another 5 blocks done.  Cant wait to start quilting this one after watching Angela Walters videos' giving tips not only on the actual quilting process but where to use what type of fillers as I always struggle deciding what to do where.  Hopefully this time I will try feathers as I just love it but have never stitched it.
