It's finished! months of...prep work, yeah, I'll call it that. For a final sewing frenzy and finished in a week!
This is me, after making the $%&%^&% bed (day beds look good, but they are a pain to make, believe me!)
And the best pic I could at night- fresh sheets, new quilt, happy girl child! She really wanted it finished for last night, but I couldn't get the binding finished during the day (read- too much nagging for food etc)
I'm not happy, of course- the turquoise squares have run! I think I dyed them, a while ago now. Some of the orange has run a bit too. Oh, well, we'll see what it looks like after a few more washes! Oh, the backing is blue chenille, as in the last post.
Have to show off this funny bent needle- it had no help making it this shape, I promise!
And a little nostalgia- the first quilt I made my baby, before I knew it was a girl. All cross stitched by me, then sewn on the old Janome. Polar fleece backing. Lots of baby spew on this quilt, there was!

Looks great Bec! Get yourself some of that Dylon colour run remover (make sure it's the colour safe one) it works a treat. I just finished off my daughters quilt that had black pom pom trim that ran through gorgeous pink chenille, I actually cried. I had prewashed the trim, obviously not well enough! Anyway, the run remover pulled it all out beautifully. Good luck!
I second selina , get some of that colour remover stuff....

It's that final run that's the hardest work...well done, the quilt looks brilliant!
Absolutely gorgeous Be.

Looks ace Bec!
I hope you can fix the runs with all the suggestions here! I have used Run away and the colour catcher sheets in the wash. Both worked.
Good luck.
