Wedding Quilt

I think I work much better with a firm, self-imposed deadline. Of course, most of the work still gets done a only few days before the deadline.

This is what my sewing table currently looks like. I'm madly trying to finish a quilt destined to be a wedding gift for a friend. Her first wedding anniversary is on March 8th, but she and her man will be in Geelong celebrating another friend's wedding, so I told them I'd present it to them on Friday afternoon before they head off.

It's made up mostly in linen and linen blends, with a patchwork of some favourite Lara Cameron prints. It's larger than I expected (190cm by 210cm), it fits so nicely on my queen sized bed.

I've been reading up on free motion quilting of late, and had my first practice tonight. I enjoyed it so much that I thought I'd do just a little on this quilt, around the green border. 
I'm debating now whether I should keep sewing or not, but just looking at the computer monitor makes me want to close my eyes and sleep, so I think I'll take the hint!

Oh, before I forget! Once I bundle this quilt off to my friends, I'll be joining Elizabeth from Oh, Fransson! in her quilt-along. She's doing it over 4 weeks, I believe, which may be a little fast for me, but I'll try to keep up. Shall I see you all there?
