You may believe I'm 'not at the right station' or still celebrating Christmas?!
No, it's not like that. Just another UFO finished! I never thought I was going to finish the bed cover, because it is big. At times I wonder if there's something wrong with me.... I tend to end up with bigger projects, which I love to do. I like it when a project takes some time to finish - like this quilt.
It all started here... a day in October last year... I intended to make something for Christmas 2010, but.... the blocks were put aside until March this year - you can read about it here.
When I started working on the blocks last year, I had no idea what to make. It was first back in March I decided for a bedcover for our bed. I didn't have a pattern for it, so it was quite some brainwork to figure out how I wanted it.
For the batting, I have used 1cm polyester batting, which gives it a nice look.
As a newbie in designing, I miscalculated the length. :( After more brainwork, I decided to add some smaller Santa's to the header and footer, which didn't turn out that bad - I think?
This is from the side. I see now that I should have placed the Santa-blocks the other way - turned it one turn to the right - if you know what I mean.... I think that had looked better? But - done is done! :)
I have called the quilt 'Santa goes to Svalbard', because Santa rides on a polar bear!
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, take a look here! :)
There are polar bears in Svalbard... and there surely is Santa's too!
If you would like to see some stunning images from Svalbard, take a look here.

I love the puffiness too when I did my parents 25th anniversary quilt. But when you work with cotton batting, you will not turn back.
