It took several months longer than I expected, but the quilt (top) is finished! I will get round to finishing the actual quilt at some point, but the quilt top is the main part and it gives me time to work out how I’m actually going to quilt it and let me work out how to create mossy margins around the edge. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the quilt, I especially love the embroidered patch blocks contributed by 23 people 😀 It’s also difficult to explain what the quilt means to me, especially those contributions. I hope to be able to find the appropriate words when I make a zine about it.

The next step is to take the quilt on a cycle tour (the first of many?). This time from Aberystwyth to the Forest of Dean for International Zine Library Day on Sunday 21st July! I’ve planned my route, booked my campsites and now I need to contact some places along the way that I’d like to take the Forest of Zine to visit.
