In the last picture I posted yesterday I showed you a small piece of the Home Sweet Home quilt. In 2009-2010 I also took part in Françoise's Mystery. This one is called Fabric Wonderland. The final pattern arrived by post on October 7th and I have only just started to piece together the quilt.

| This is what it looks like so far! |
 |
| It is big, but it should not be heavy..... |
 |
| Of course Loedertje offered her help. It is nice and warm wrapped in a quilt. Even if it is just the top! |
 |
| This is how big it is already. I am not even halfway! |
It really feels like unravelling a mystery. Will the colours work or will the quilt be bland, will all the pieces fit (a problem I encountered last time due to my sloppy needlework) and most of all: How am I going to quilt this one? It will take me a while yet to finish the top. I do all the piecing by hand. I will show you the end result though, just be patient.
More tomorrow!

Heleen that is truly stunning...looks like there is a lot of sewing of little pieces in this one...
