Some actual patchwork!

It's a very good friend's birthday this week and we're meeting up for a meal this evening.

She also has a new job and is moving back to Edinburgh to take it up (we're in London at the moment).

She's also going quite soon... it was all very quick!

As it seems like a special birthday because I might not see her for a while although obviously we will keep in touch, I thought I would pull out the stops and actually make her a quilty throw.  Feeling a little guilty giving her another thing to schlep up to Scotland, but hopefully she won't mind!  I have't done any actual patchwork for sometime now, and had to call in reinforcements (my brother) to help me find the foot pedal for the sewing machine!

Anyway,,,,here's a couple of pics of my efforts.  Finished it the other day sitting in the garden, hence the outdoorsy photos....
