Mountmellick Progress

Last night I put the last stitch in the part 4 border of Mountmellick, a mystery quilt by Di Ford and published in Quiltmania magazines in 2014.



The corners are English paper pieced. I am hand stitching the whole quilt.



Before we went away to Japan I had all the little triangles cut out ready to piece. I managed to do only a little piecing in Japan, but I had a stitching marathon on the plane on the way home! :)



Next is a narrow appliqued border, then a wider pieced border. Still a long was to go!

I did finish one small quilt earlier this year..



Here it is with its new owner inside his teepee..

  6. Oh my goodness, it's absolutely gorgeous! And extra specially nice because it's hand pieced. Such an accomplishment. Love the little quilt under the teepee. Perfect!
