Yesterday I finally finished piecing the top of my Happy Star/Pernilla’s Parrots picnic rug quilt and I tried to take a picture – but the wind had other ideas!
I don’t know why it looks so giant, compared to Lucy here – it’s 65 inches square. Is that big enough or should I be adding another border?
I eventually managed to peg it to a hedge…
But even that didn’t last long!
What have you finished this week?

I like that…”peg it to a hedge”. Sounds like a solution for a lot of things.

This is fantastic! The colors are so great! I always struggle with wind too, it is as though wind kicks up for quilt photos or something.

What a lovely, bright, cheerful quilt. Hope the wind when photographing isn't a harbinger of the weather you will experience when picnicing!

Love the quilt and I think that's plenty big for a picnic for two – 5 feet plus in every direction.

Waht a lovely, bright quilt.
I also like your blog description – I, too, quilt, knit, crochet, embroider, dye and live: in colour of course!! (BTW, I came in from TGIFF where I have a finish-of-sorts)

That really made me giggle and pegging it to a hedge was genius, if only for a minute! I love how bold and fun this quilt is, it makes me smile. The large design looks brilliant :)

Janine I have been missing out on all this awesome-ness lately. I LOVE the solid work you have been doing lately…and Pernilla's is awesome. I absolutely adore Tina Givens and yet sometimes I don't know what to do with her fantastic prints. This showcasing one square in the center was such a great idea. Love the pink!!!
