I took advantage of the Easter break to tidy up my study (again!) and decided it was high-time I did something about my quilt pile. I have some quilts I made years ago which I love but have never really had a use for and so I have finally hung them on the walls.
I'm not very confident about sticking nails in my walls as they seem rather flimsy so I have taken a different approach - it's perhaps not the most aesthetically pleasing but pins and framing tape are a wonderfully quick way to hang a quilt!
This one was an intermediate patchwork class which introduced lots of different techniques but also made a quilt that wasn't really the right size for anything!
And this is my first "proper" quilt which I used to have on my bed at university and which I absolutely love but it doesn't fit on a double bed and I can't bring myself to use it as a sofa quilt (as it would inevitably have drinks and food spilled all over it). The picture is a bit rubbish but it really does look great on the wall and the red is lovely and bright (and the quilting is in metallic silver thread which catches the light beautifully!)
Finally, I'm using my log cabin cats as a cover for my treadle (which doubles as a table when it's not in use!)
