NOoooooooo..........
as you can see --- that's what you get when you work when you're tired and work in bad light! i never realised the back was looping and bunching ....until it was too late.....
the good news .... a couple of hours of patient unpicking has cleared all the bits of thread and the fabric isnt marked. so it's ready to go again ...but i'm not. ;-(

textured quilt
this is a departure in colours - much darker than my usual palette. i settled on the graduated colour rather than a total random look
this was the alternative scrappy pattern
I used the sample fabric books that I found back in March.

strippy pillow
I have discovered strip quilting!!!!!
i love it!!!!!!!!
i even ventured out to new quilt stitches - i really like the cirlces ....but they take an AGE ..I think i will reserve this for smaller projects because you need to be able to manoeuvre the quilt freely to get nice circles so i may not be able to on a full size quilt?
back to meandering on one side - after the circles i actually enjoyed it and kept the paths close together.
and the full side view..(i think that's my shadow on the photo as there are no dark areas)
i am thinking of planning a Quilt now as i learnt so much doing this small project. we shall see.
