Quilt for Lesley - my friend wot lunches!

This quilt was made for my bezzie bezzie mate, Lesley.   We have lunched every Thursday (almost) for the last 16 years... Just gave myself a bloomin' shock there!    I have never made her anything in all that time so I thought I would make up for it last Christmas!   It turned out quite big and I was really pleased with it.  She rang me on Xmas day and said she cried..... exactly the response I expected!!!
I have the main fabric in pink and purple.   I think it would make a very pretty baby quilt.  The fabric is a 20 strip jelly roll from Fabric Land and the larger border is four fat quarters of the same fabric cut into 6 inch strips.    The binding is done from what was left over.
Short post tonight cos we have had a bit of an episode.   DS1 came in having lost his iPhone - he had it on the bus.    Really upset.     DH and he got in DH's van and chased the bus but of course it wasn't there, neither were the two little sh*tes who were sitting near him........     It's not the phone so much as what's on it.  
Right it's getting late, Spurs have just scored (so DH a bit happier now) and I still have to get my face off!  
Thanks for stopping by.
Love Burnice x
