Art of Quilting Make a quilt...first issue 99p Wadding and backing sold separately. £3.99 for subsequent issues. Only 90 issues required to complete the quilt. So, that's just £356.10 for a quilt that will take nearly two years to complete...without backing and wadding. Bargain!

I've run, sorry they've run, 14000 miles in that time, bought all their own kit, paid extra for race entries etc etc. - lets' say 2 grand At the pace I'll be running soon a nice quilt might be quite handy.
