Alphabet Chart - DONE!

I bet you are all very relieved to see this blog post title - that's it, you'll never have to read about this damn project again!  This is number 14. -  Alphabet chart on the list.  In the comments some have you have called it a quilt, others a book and I realised I'd never actually explained.  It's neither.  It is to be hung on a wall, like the poster versions most kids have.  Want to see it?

I've just realised I never measured it.  Well I must have to cut the interfacing and backing fabric, but I didn't write it down.  Each square was 6", I sewed with a 1/4" seam allowance, making each square 5.5" x 6 across = 33" wide, and 5 tall = 27.5" high.

I took some closer up photos as it's hard to see on the top photo where I was standing on a sofa!

Have you got a favourite square?  Any letters where you would have done a different image?  Do you know what the orange blob is yet Samantha?

I like the rabbit best, but then you already knew that.

I kind of wish I'd kept track of how many hours I put into this project, it was a lot, I can tell you that.  I started it about 3 years ago!

Here it is without the letters added on.  I was also sewing up a little drawstring bag to keep the letters in and, would you believe it, I got it wrong.  I completely messed it up and haven't had a chance to remake it.  It's my goddaughter's birthday on Saturday and I'm not sure when I'm seeing her but I might not have time to make a new one!

Oh, almost forgot!  I twin-needled!  Oh yeah baby.  It's actually really easy, just like normal sewing.  I used pink and yellow threads with white in the bobbin.

I backed it with this very appropriate fabric that I bought about 3 years ago for this alphabet chart and have been sitting on every since.  Phew, I'm exhausted, pass the coffee someone!
