Yay - finished my top!

Managed to get in before the deadline with a finished top. It's going away to be quilted and my name is almost at the top of the list so I'll be posting it on Monday. Unusually, it's a beautiful sunny day here in the North West of England so I took my top outside for a little photo shoot.


I want to say a big thank you to Chooky and Susan for all of the whip cracking and encouragement - without it I think my blocks would still be a WIP! I do hope there will be another stitch a long, I've really enjoyed making this quilt and am thrilled to have the top finished.
