Kims Japanese tissue box quilt

This quilt belongs to a lovely lady client of mine, she is new to quilting and is making some amazing stuff..she bought the backing for this quilt from a show and the vendor sold her 5.5 metres to back her quilt..which at that stage didnt have outer borders,because she didnt think she could do them..only thing was it was wide backing,she had enuff to back it twice and do the outer borders, make pillow cases and still bits left for her next quilt..I was angry to say the least that she had been ripped off..but doesnt matter it turned out to be a great quilt.My quilting buddy up the street is a fabulous piecer so i asked her to do the one inch red sashing and the outer border..then the quilt was squared up aswell..The other thing the client wanted was for me to miss the sashiko blocks..ever tried to do that in the middle of a panto..yeah right I had punters eyes by the end of it.,,thats one each way,but it was worth it she was very happy and I feel it turned out to be a beautiful quilt which now is big enuff for her bed, not the knees at TV time..cheers Pat
