    Well that is simply beautiful. I love the colours she has gone with.

    I have only dappled in patchwork and quilting. My sister is brilliant at it. Makes quilts, wall hangings and table runners amongst other things. She loves it.

    I am sure that one must have taken your mil ages, it looks very detailed to me.

    That's a lovely quilt. I have half-made something similar myself, using diamond shaped pieces and stitching them by hand. 81 diamonds form a bigger diamond and eight of the bigger diamonds are arranged in the shape of a star.

    It's time to put the star on a background and quilt it and now I have run into a problem. It is too large for my mother to manage the quilting on her Singer. It's roughly the size to cover a king-size bed. Does anyone know of a service that will take a large patchwork piece and quilt it to a backing?

    I know it can be a pain, but it is possible to do a king size quilt on a sewing machine, having just finished one myself. If you roll the quilt into a sausage and manuevre it into the space in the sewing machine. You can use large safety pins to hold the roll together.
