I have a double offering for you today on the 8th Day of the Fabadashery Longarm Quilting Twelve Days of Christmas.  Last year, Coral's friend got in touch to see if I could help Coral, who will be 90 this year, finish off some English paper pieced hexagon quilts which she had been working on for many years. One quilt had been started by someone else and Coral had added to it, the other was a regular Grandmother's Flower Garden style, where Coral had used a wide variety of fabrics, but had pulled it together by using just solid fabric for the centres.

When I see all the variety of fabrics in these heirloom quilts, I am always keen to start one myself.

To make sure these two quilts were not left lingering unfinished in a cupboard, Coral opted for the binding and trimming service which I offer and also ordered a label for each of them.
