It’s taken a couple of weeks since I pieced this (blogged here) but I finally have a Friday Finish!

This week I’ve been working on trying to perfect a simple cloth doll pattern… …and a request quilt. This quilt is a late birthday present for one of my son’s (I have three sons and two daughters) and he chose it because he wanted a big flag for rugby matches. This is 74″ x 94″. […]
