The aargh moment passed and although it is quite bright, I like this quilt. My daughter redeemed it for me when she named it the Circus Quilt. Thinking of all those bright colours and triangular shapes does remind me of a circus tent and bunting flying from the guide wires.I decided to trim it with the bright pink to emphasise the colour rather than tone it down - impossible anyway.

This little gadget made it all the easier to finish the quilt because it stops the machine pushing the top layer along faster than the bottom layer. Unfortunately I did not have it until I was ready to do the binding and it was a real struggle to sew through two layers of fabric and medium weight wadding. The man at Wimbledon Sewing Machines is a real genius with machines and managed to find one that would work on my machine. It even has a quilting guide.
Can't wait to get started on the next one. I splurged and bought a Liberty jelly roll. Very subdued.

Oh this looks really gorgeous. Love the binding - it sets it off really well. The sewing foot is an interesting item - will check it out.
