Wet quilt, anyone?

I washed it in the bath, in minimal water with hand-wash liquid detergent. A couple of the seams have rucked up a little bit, probably because some patches warped after the rain.
I simply cannot get the hang of using a sewing machine - they always run away with me. Guess I'm just a slow thinker. grin

Love it to bits! Well done you.

Well done!! I did something similar (by machine) during lockdown. When I washed it all the tiny red patches which were scattered amongst the other colours ran. I thought they had been prewashed but obviously they hadn't.

I did patchwork for years and have one quilt on my bed. It gets grubby with cats and dog sharing it with me and needs washing now and again. It’s entirely hand-sewn but is fine in the washing machine on a very gentle cool wash.

What an amazing project. Well done!

Or cannot imagine!! Sorry.

CarrotTop as a fellow quilter, I bow down to you! It's beautiful! I cannot image making a quilt of that size without resorting to the machine at some point. You're a hero!

Beautiful 👌

Beautiful CarrotTop

That is truly a thing of beauty 😍

Wow! I love this!

that is really lovely you are so talented well done
i must admit with the title i wondered if someone had had an accident; blame it on the dog!

It's wonderful, CarrotTop. Washing it must be quite the challenge.

JamesandJon, Yes every part is hand-pieced and embroidered over. The other side is made from simple straight-edged large squares, also hand-pieced. It was very relaxing to make - I originally meant to make a cushion cover but somehow it kept growing!

Wow that’s a work of art CarrotTop

It’s lovely

Thats beautiful CarrotTop, I love your colours, it'll make it's lucky bed feel very special!

That is quite beautiful. Well done. I presume it is all hand sewn?
A mammoth task I know as I made a similar size one, many years ago

Wow, respect to you CarrotTop! (I thought I had my work cut out, just washing the summer duvets!)
I hope your quilt has remained just as lovely, after washing.

An amazing creation! (Wet or dry!) 👏👏👏
