Elle this is fantastico! And I don't envy you with that draped all over you in a Spanish summer! Must have been like having a sauna at the same time! LOL
PS regarding the thimble - I had the same thing and hated thimbles til I tried this one http://www.cottonpatch.co.uk/acatalog/thimbles.html scroll right down, it's called Roxanne's thimble. It's really comfortable, I even gone off to the loo and forgot I was wearing it! Luckily haven't dropped it down there yet. :mrgreen:

Beautiful quilt...fantastic fabric selection and done so quickly! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous creation.
PS I like the look of the Roxanne thimble...I had a very comfy Japanese made leather and coin thimble...unfortunately the dog ate it when he was a puppy (death to the thimble...but puppy survived!).

Yes it was like being in a sauna I did it mainly in the early morning or late evening but it was still hot and I developed a heat rash which was horrible.
thanks for your love comments.

One of my dogs when she was a puppy, loved cotton reels to chew,and I wonīt tell you how many reels she has ruined. She looks now but darenīt touch, so each time she doesnīt touch she is told what a good girl she is and made a real fuss of.
