A prezzie for the in-laws (work in progress)

The Christmas present sewing has begun and the first is near completion! I can't believe that it took just two evenings to cut and piece the front of the Japanese Cranes quilt for the in-laws. Here's a yucky pic of it:
And here are some shots of the details:This quilt is from a kit which I bought from Quilts & Calicoes (Tanglin Mall). They also have it in a gold/red colourway, but my in-laws really like purple and this will look nice in their lavender and Oriental-theme bedroom.

Yesterday, I got some backing fabric and the batting. So what's left is the actual quilting! This time, I'm going to do some simple machine quilting because it's a whole lot faster than hand-quilting ... hahahha!
