Unfortunately I'm rather tired out from all the basting, so I've had to take a few days off while I wait for my hands to stop aching, but I'm sure I'll be quilting soon. Ironically, I spent ages with my support worker creating a huge diamond grid from 15 sheets of paper I'd printed out and taped together, and then I absent-mindedly marked the grid on the wrong way around, after all that fuss! So I'll have to recalculate where I put the beaded stars, but I think it should still be perfectly manageable. For some reason everyone seems to be incapable of taking a non-blurry photo of the thing. I can take a close-up of the centre if anyone wants to see the embroidery detail, such as the stripes on the waistband.

It'll probably be tomorrow, I'm having a lazy evening. I managed to quilt a 6" line on a trial piece this morning and realised that my hands still hurt, so I've been taking it easy today, apart from having fun making pickled ginger and veggie sushi and so forth.

Thank you for all the compliments, everyone! I get so used to it when I'm working on a bit at a time that I don't think much of it after a while, then I stand back and see it like this and am surprised myself.
