To celebrate MM's retirement and reaching the wonderful age of 55 a Girlz Stuff quilt was made. This was our first quilt made following this design and everyone found it quite a challenge as the instructions were so free / vague.
The background fabric was purchased in Hawaii and so there was no chance of going back for more. It had been purchased without any idea as to how much would be needed and the guesstimate was pretty good .... about an A4 page worth of fabric remained when the quilt was completed.
Because MM is a soft and feminine person a floral basis was decided for the main fabrics. Chris and Cheryl spent one day 'in hell' (according to Paul) making their blocks under the guiding hand/ bull whip of myself making their blocks, while Melitta made hers with a bit of help a while later.
The quilt top was joined together and spaces left for MM to add her own touch of individuality.
