My next WIP finished

Hi, Well its not quite finished yet so there's no photo yet. Its a quilt I started for my mother, oh about 8 years ago, so it has been a long time in the making, the trouble was that I started quilting it and then couldn't decide what else to do on it so it got shoved in the corner ( you know the one) and left until last year when I was having a finishing wip year, and i pulled it out of the corner to have a look, well, I decided to unpick the border and the pattern I had put in the fans and redo them, they look much better now. The quilt pattern is out of a Patchwork and Quilting magazine, with my quilt pattern in the middle. If anyone is interested in the number of the magazine I will try to find it before I put its photos on.
Til next time, see ya.

Hi, this is my first blogging experience, so please be kind, I am a machine quilter and run my own longarm quilting business called Blue Wren Quilting. I have been quilting probably all my life well, from high school anyway, the first quilt I made was a whole cloth cot quilt and I can still remember drawing up a grid for the crosshatching on tissue paper and sewing it. Its still here somewhere in a draw. I decided to make a blog to help me with my WIP's (works in progress) because there is quite a few. They are getting less tho as there was a few finished this year, one of the more recent ones is a Japanese one that was a block swap with some lovely women in Qld which is the first one up on the blog, I have quilted a double baptist fan over the whole quilt in a darker blue thread. Well thanks for looking at my blog, I hope you enjoyed it. And I'd like to thank my sister for making her blog which encouraged me to make mine.
