quilt weather

we're heading off for a week in a cottage on the Yorkshire coast, and just in time I've finally finished E's quilt, (last seen here, it's taken 6 months to quilt it, that's what happens when you get a request for footballs in the quilting....) anyway it's finished now, and I especially love the red binding inspired by Monica, and we shall be packing it because it's definitely quilt weather.......

sorry it's a terrible photo as the light was awful, I shall rephotograph it when we get back.
hope you all have a lovely week, whatever the weather x

    Have a lovely time - we've just got back from 2 weeks in Devon where we had definite need of quilts and duvets most night!

    What a brilliant quilt! Love the colors and the binding. And how did you ever do the soccer balls? Simply amazing!

    Hope you have a wonderful holiday despite the chilly weather.

    It looks lovely and I'm looking forward to seeing more photos of it (I've just started my first quilt so I'm taking a lot more notice of other people's).
    Have a great holiday.

    The Yorkshire coast - can't beat it! It IS quilt weather isn't it - where did long summer evenings go? Did we have any?

    It's beautiful, Tess. I love the colours. I'm mulling over a quilt in my mind with a similar colourscheme. Your red binding is genius. Laura x
