Linen Love

The red linen quilt is finally finished, in use and loved!

I think it is possibly my favourite quilt!

I had a quilting plan which I promptly forgot/ignored and I decided to quilt, by hand, a design in each big square.  It felt more like embroidery than quilting, and I had great fun drawing frixon designs to stitch over 

There are 20 or so, but I shan't bore you with them all!!!
