Project 4 Patchwork quilt is Complete

Well its 99% done!

It has taken a while as obviously I can only do it at night time when Izzy has gone to bed.

I didn't make it as a traditional all in 1 quilt, mainly because I wanted to be able to wash it at home, and with it being the size of a double duvet it might not wash well if it was like that.
Instead I made it like a duvet cover, it has the patchwork layer, then a cream cotton layer and then the other cream cotton layer - so the duvet goes between the two cream sheets. I did this becasue I didn't want to risk the stitching on the patches being damaged when putting the duvet in and out. The duvet was a double 4.5tog, I only had to trim a small piece off the one side for it to fit.
