I believe that this is Hannah's first bed quilt.  It has been stitched together entirely by hand and ended up quite big.  This is where a longarm quilting service is really useful.  As well as quilting the quilt, I also added the binding, which meant that a few nights of hand sewing was all that was needed to finish it off.  The quilt was also trimmed down, another arduous task on a big quilt.

With hundreds of different fabrics, the front of the quilt was quite busy, so its main purpose was to hold the three layers together.  The pattern Hannah chose was called 'Surf'', a digital quilting pattern, designed by Anne Bright.
