The sun came out.....

Finally after weeks and weeks of gloom and storms the sun came out!
Just in time for me to show you the quilt I finally finished :)

Block a palooza finally finished!

I started this in January 2010 when John the Quilt Dad ran the Bloggers Block a Palooza QAL. I really enjoyed doing the QAL but couldn't decided how to piece the top, then I was too scared to quilt it, so it got put in a bag and buried as I got distracted with other things.

The quilt was at the top of my To-Do list this year and I am very pleased with myself for finishing it :)

Block a Palooza Quilt in it's rightful place :)

My youngest son is also very pleased because it's for his bed :)
It's really hard to get a photo of a quilt on a bunk bed!

Back of the Block a Palooza

3 of the quilt blocks ended up in the back of the quilt. I think my son actually prefers the back to the front!

I finally got brave and tried FMQ again, and I really enjoyed doing it!!!!
There are a fair few mistakes and jaggy bits but I'm really happy with how it's turned out, and they say practice makes perfect.
And I've got lots of WIPs to prectice on!
