Here is the finished quilt.
Each block is surrounded by a quarter inch of red which although time consuming really enhanced the colours of the quilt. The red represents the fire of a mother and son's relationship in the teenage years.
Life has been hectic over the last few weeks with lots of celebrations for Geoff's 50th Birthday. I have also embarked on a large project to turn one of our bedrooms into a sewing room. This is a very big job as it currently houses loads of toys and other teenage stuff. Spent today packing Rob's extensive Jurassic Park dinosaur collection into boxes for storage in the loft.
My next big project is my City & Guilds wholecloth quilt which is based on Welsh Celtic designs. I will try to keep you up to date with my progress.

Congrats on finally getting it all done.
I love the quilt and the red really sets the whole thing off, its lovely
Yes, the red works very well. Love the pieced back too - the kind of details that make a quilt stand out (just a shame that 'back art' can't be seen at shows).
Your finished quilt looks fabulous.
I'm not surprised Jonathan is pleased - it looks great! I love the pieced back too.
That looks a great quilt. Black and white are quite powerful colours that it needs one more colour. Well done on getting that done and glad then Jonathan likes it.
It makes so much difference to have a sewing room, I've been lucky to have had one since both Alex and Sarah left for uni (and never returned) but a word of warning (from experience) you do acquire more stuff to expand into the space!!
Very nice work and it looks like 3d quilt. Quilting is one of my hobby and i also work whenever i get time. I also have tried some of these types of quilts. Congrats on completion of such a nice piece.
