So here is my finished Burgoyne Surround (aka 'Charlotte Sometimes') mini quilt all ready to be sent out to my swap partner at the end of the month. I hand quilted it and used the Echino print as a back fabric instead of the Lecien vinatge print. I think (hope) my Swap partner likes this better because there is a colour in their that is one of her favourites. I really enjoyed working with the old linen from my Grandmother. With every touch it gets softer though that does have its drawbacks as it stretches considerably while being worked on. Normally I don't pre-wash any fabric since the invention of colour catcher with the exception of linen. Linen has the naughty habit of shrinking unreasonably .
Gosh I do hope my Partner likes it but if not I don't mind if she sends it back :-).
Anyway here are the pics
And no my friends the cherries are not included in the swap !! Just didn't have anything else handy to cover the name quickly.
