Almost there...

This is my quilt! Well ok... so it isn't finished yet - but I'm getting there !! This is my first quilt! It will be finished soon - I hope before we shift - and be ready in time to be hung in our new home!
I have to redo the center rose block because I scorched the calico on the outer part of the block - Sigh - it took me ages to do it and will probably take me just as long to do it again! But what can you do when you seek perfection!
I have been having a dreadful time trying to get my machine to a satin stitch and have taken it in for a service just to make sure there isn't anything wrong with it... But alas no - it is the operator not the machine that can not get it together to do what is wanted!! So I have had to change the design of the quilt to suit my needs. Meaning it will look nothing like the original pattern but here's hoping that it will still look ok.
When I am finished I will surely let you know! Until then I will keep persevering till I have achieved satisfaction.
