I only worked on it mainly during school holidays and some weekends. I am also not one to do something all day – there is something like 120 blocks that make it up each with 3 pieces of fabric – I know it took me a 3 or afternoons cutting them out and then probably 4 or so sessions to sew and iron each block. Then another sessions to piece it together as my Mum knows this very quick and easy way to piece the blocks together which keeps everything in order and minimises the amount of times you need to cut the thread. One more session putting on the sashing and pinning it together to quilt. Then say 3 sessions doing the quilting – just along all the seams and then one more to sew on the first stage of the binding and which my Mum was kind enough to do the hand sewing for the final stage of the binding. Probably all up 3 or so continious weeks of off and on sewing.

Please say hi to the family for me.

All the best from Iceland, Herdís Pála.
