Anyone who knows the story of the magic porridge pot
(my favourite childhood book)
will understand this post.
This quilt is turning into quite a porridge of a pot,
in that it goes on and on!
The bigger it gets the more of a monster it is becoming!
I know I know...
not another post with that quilt.
Believe me I want to see the end too.
Yesterday to my horror,
whilst filling the gaps along the edge,
I realised that I need to do another whole row!!
That's another 8!!
If I don't then the quilt will end with half a block.
(as above)
I was tempted to leave it,
but the angel (or is it the devil?)
on my shoulder wont let me!
And so with a big sigh...
...onwards.
(ignore the pillow/quilt combo,
this quilt is for the loft room.
I'm just using our bed to lay it all out)

On a cheerier note, some primulas,
that my mother in law gave me.
It was a table decoration at a charity event they went to
with my Mum and Dad. (who they see more than I do!)
How cute is the simple laurel leaf casing.
Righto then porridge with homemade gooseberry jam.
Just one bowl thankfully!

I'd be the same - I couldn't leave it with a block hanging over the edge like that - it would fester away at me like a nasty boil on the bum (which I don't confess to ever having) until I got the row finished.
Don't leave your bum boil to fester - please!!! ;) xx
I love Porridge! Keep going - that quilt will be stunning when its done(but your poor little fingers!) xxxx
Love the quilt!
Gorgeous quilt - you'll know when to tell it too 'stop little pot stop' ;)
Keep going, you'll thank yourself in the end!
Hard to ignore the gorgeous Orla pillows, by the way!

Lovely quilt - but I hope you'll know when to stop! (400 posts later.....!) x
Definitely worth doing another 8 to make the row complete. looks fabulous and is going to be stunning when finished.
It's just looking wonderful. Whenever I see this quilt on my sidebar, I just have to pop on over immediately. I know , I haven't been on my blog much to see it though.
Keep up the good work, what a treasure it will be.
The quilt is looking lovely, it will be amazing when finished - keep going!!

Hi Clare .... you know deep down that if you leave it, it will annoy the hell out of you, so you have to see it through, but it will be sooo worth it!
