Finished green patchwork quilt and crochet coat hangers.

Hello there everybody. This week I have to show the actual finished...yes, finished patchwork quilt. Go me. It's funny how I couldn't wait to get it all done and dusted and then it's hmmm I really miss having that on my lap stitching away at it!
Without further ado here it is;

Taken outside on a breezy, sunny day (yep, I did say sunny!) It's about the same size as my red quilt which fits a double bed but doesn't have much of an overhang.

Purists look away now, cos as you can see it's rather wonky, but after doing the whole lot by hand my eyes were begining to cross! I was going to leave the green sashing plain, but added the circles which made it all come together very nicely. Before I wasn't liking it much but now I do.

Wrapped around my shy model who said it was nice and cosy! This is a medium weight quilt. Am now thinking what quilt to make next, after me thinking never again. :0D I gave it a quick wash and a cool iron on the reverse side which is a plain white sheet.

I also did some crocheting, which was quite easy to do, but I thought very effective and pretty.

The top one was crochet with cotton from Penny's cotton club (no relation to me!) http://planetpenny.co.uk/ and the bottom one was crochet with odds and ends of acrylic that was in my stash of yarn.

My jacket and coat have never looked so posh! Arn't they so pretty with the flowers dangling down. The pattern can be found on this lady's blog marmaladerose. I found 2 hangers made from wood (one slightly bigger than the other) hiding in my wardrobe. I will have to have a root through the families cupboards and see if I can find some more so I can crochet some pretty flowers to hide the boring wood!

This blog will be joining up with these link parties;
