Norfolk Quiltlet

I had hoped to get this little wallhanging completed before leaving for New Zealand.  That hasn't happened but I thought I'd share my progress with you.
I've finished the sashiko-style quilt stitching and am appliqueing (is there such a word?) marbled green bias tape to suggest reeds.
My 5 year old grandson, Wills, saw it tonight and pronounced it "pretty" and then "like a meadow with different heights of grass" - I'll take that thank you Wills!

  5. Your sashiko-style stitching is really neat and gives the effect of water very well! I'd love to have a go at sashiko sometime.
    If you want an honest opinion - ask a child!
