Here’s a quick pic of the finished blanket:
In the end I tied it — theres no batting to move around inside it and the test quilting I did looked completely pants on top of the pattern of the fabric, which is already quite busy. It looks better lying flat though, it has to be said. It is tied in the corners of each square with dark red wool, resembles a futon from the back, and is very, very cosy!

Kate what a great use of the fabric. Now is probably not the time to mention that Hinnigans has been closed for a while as they were flooded just before Christmas and have yet to reopen their doors :-(

That is exactly the quilt I would want to make for my own bed. I love the patterns. The design is so simple, but the patterns really shine.
