Mustache done!

Although it definitely not show quality!!

My machine decided it was going to skip stitches all over the place! I tried the walking foot, with no success, tension adjustments didn't help, nor did a new needle! It can't possibly need another service?  Grrrr......

I used a remnant of wadding that I already had, but it was a polyester that was pretty uneven and too springy for my liking. Referring back to the above issue, I wonder if this was another factor in the stitches skipping?? 

Anyhow, here it is!! Finished size 85cm x 75cm. The backing is a nod to famous mustache wearer....

A favourite meme of mine :

All about the 'stache...

Mustaches seem to be big thing right now... or maybe I am a little late onto the bandwagon? 

Inspired by some quilts I had seen online, I dug out some tartan/checks/plaids and I paired them with some matching plains, drew a 'stache design on some visoflix and used the scraps to put some random coloured scraps, raw edge stitched and this is where I'm at:

It's not going to be a terribly large quilt - the base squares are only 12cm square - but a quickie to design and sew! All the rows are ready to go together, but that's a job for tomorrow...
