My sewing room and other messy things

My lovely almost-14 year old is having a big joint birthday party (with her best friend) this Friday. Consequently my sewing room (which doubles as an extra sitting room) will need to be cleaned up!! Otherwise adults will find out just how messy I can be. So I have to turn this:


......into a nice room to sit in!
I have therefore been working at terrifying speed (for me) on this...




.... so I can put everything away!

So far I am quite pleased with the results though I am not sure about the mustard. I was trying for an antique prairie look done entirely on the machine. This is the most complicated machine quilt I have ever attempted (my other efforts were no more difficult then nine-patches). Will soon have to find a backing which is always exciting! I am thinking of quilting it in red perle which I have never used before. Any thoughts!

    Thank you for visiting me on my blog! I love your new quilt, its design looks very well-balanced.I do love the idea of red perle quilting - I've used red thread quilting around applique hearts on a white background and was pleased with the effect. Good luck with the tidying! Helen x
