to this ...
and finally this ...
I ditch quilted it and did that back to front machine binding. It is quicker but my corners could have been a bit better than they are. A couple are a little wonky but that's ok as there are a few wonky bits in the patchwork too lol.
The embroidery was completed last January and I used 1 strand of Cottage Garden thread to work it. I also completed a blue version for my Mum's birthday last year. The pattern is a red work design called Quilter's cottage in an orchard by Willow Valley Store. I worked my border differently than the one pictured in the pattern.
Here's a pic of the blue version featuring some William Morris fabrics. This is just before I stitched down the binding. Can't find the finished pic.
Now I said I was going to be productive lol. Off to do something with those gorgeous leftover fabrics for the birthday stash item for February.

Yes, I also prefer the red one, although the William Morris fabrics are also beautiful. I always gravitate to the roses, though!
