I really like the handstitching detail, very pretty. <br /><br />Funnily enough, I was reminiscing about Blue Peter and their annual advent coat-hanger craft just today! I came to the conclusion they must have abandoned it due to the problems of uniting small children, tinsel and naked flames. angharad handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15177189673684579563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542734265072988645.post-7759310365105983032012-10-28T06:22:36.570+00:002012-10-28T06:22:36.570+00:00What a lovely quilt!

I get so frustrated at the thought of the wasted time (although possibly not as frustrating as trying to sort my sewing machine when it is playing up). Lovely little quilt.

And sleep might also not arrive until dawn. Oh yes, I do know that moment of truth.<br /><br />I also know about Blue Peter, and have laughed with my expat friends over here in NYC many times when we've found ourselves in some sort of situation that summons up a BP memory.<br /><br />Your apple orchard quilt is lovely and spritely. Can a quilt be spritely? Well, yours certainly is.<br /><br />Good luck on figuring out some way (as I know you will) to get that large quilt pressed. Maybe you or someone you know has a longish table that could be covered with padding, and could provide more of a surface to support the "moving" quilt? Of course this longish table would also need a lot of surrounding open space....<br /><br />Keep us posted! xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542734265072988645.post-70118612452036468842012-10-15T11:35:18.877+01:002012-10-15T11:35:18.877+01:00Such a gorgeous quilt, it is stunning! :)Such a gorgeous quilt, it is stunning! :)melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363810584416450667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542734265072988645.post-66285243808569336792012-10-15T11:18:39.565+01:002012-10-15T11:18:39.565+01:00I can certainly feel you pain Pomona...having comp...I can certainly feel you pain Pomona...having completed a very large quilt in the summer which was exhausting to manoeuvre and now making one where I seem to have lost my poor sense of direction completely!<br />Love you fabric and colour choices which are some of my favourites,<br />Happy week,<br />Susan x<br />♥ Mary Janes TEAROOMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05773609140590006438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542734265072988645.post-19564424765863281582012-10-15T10:42:24.984+01:002012-10-15T10:42:24.984+01:00A lovely quilt and lovely writing too.

And I think you're right about quilters preferring wall quilts and baby quilts. They're easier to handle and offer something more akin to instant gratification. (Especially mini wall hangings - 3 blocks, a border or two, a bit of binding, and Bob's your uncle. All the craft with none of the muscle strain.)<br /><br />Pressing larger quilts wouldn't be so bad with a table-top size ironing board....Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542734265072988645.post-16367551199693822092012-10-13T20:52:11.959+01:002012-10-13T20:52:11.959+01:00Lovely hand stitching on the quilt.
