Here is 'USA #3' - the third of 5 lapquilts I'm making for my American cousins with this fabric. I've said it before, I know, but I am really enjoying making these quilts (this one is about 60" x 60") although it's a bit tricky as I have set myself the rule that I will only use my great-aunt's fabric i.e. I am not allowed to add from my stash ... at all!
So I finished basting (good old 505 spray!) and quilting it yesterday afternoon and then sat down to my favourite bit - the binding - in front of last night's TV:

It's just big enough for my cousin to 'cwtch up' under with her beautiful babies. Be in the post and with you soon, Emmy x
