The final bursting has been added to the centre of my quilt. I didn’t use all the different bits that I bought, but I bought enough to have the right choice for the centre. I constructed the centre burst from wired blue marbled ribbon, orange and white feathers, bronze coloured cord and the butterfly before attaching it to the quilt with the button. This is so that it is possible to wash the quilt should it ever be necessary. Finally I added some of the seed beads used outside the burst to cover the cotton on the button. It was a lot of fun deciding on the things to burst out.
And here it is…

It’s smaller than any other quilt I’ve made so far being 28 x 19 inches.
I do actually have one last job to do and that is to print the label. I have an new Epson ink jet printer waiting to be christened. Another toy that I’ve not had time to do any experimenting with yet. And then of course the label has to be sewn to the quilt. And then it really is 100% finished.
