Another big sandwich quilt
I made another huge bas cover: 90 inch (2,3 m) x 102 inch (2.6 m). Six square meters of piecing. And quilting.
Cupper, brown and green colors of this bedspread come perfectly with autumn leaves. Hence the pattern: traditional maple leaf block. 72 leave blocks of 11.5 inch (after piecing) : 216 squares - leaf centers, 72 squares of background, 288 HST squares leaves - background and 72 squares with leaf stalks - and each of them had to be trim to 3,5 inch size. And stitched together.
Autumn leaves but they look very nice in a early summer garden :)

And then a huge sandwich which already a piece of cake for me. And quilting - with my new Janome Horizon machine is a pure pleasure. Well, almost because I have still to hide threads myself. And then hand binding - also a pure pleasure. 10 metres of hand binding took me 2 h 15 min.
I was quilting with different threads on the top (light and green) and on the backing (brown). And inside is a cotton batting- I like it very much because it gives the weight to the bad cover and lies perfectly on the bad.
