I now have this quilt top finished and all ready
to be hung in the closet waiting to be quilted.
My quilts have names and as this one was based on the
travels around Aussie by Anna Maria Horner I'm calling it
Waltzing Matilda!
This will be gifted, I have someone in mind but just in case
they read my blog I'll not mention the name.
You might remember I reduced the block size so mine
is 60" x 75", at the limit of my capabilities at the moment.
The pieces are a great size so it goes together pretty quickly.
Below is one of my favourite squares 10" finished and
making up a part of the 15" finished block,
but my all time favourite fabric from this range is below
three yards are tucked away in my stash!
You can see it's a large pattern, but glorious!!
In my last post showed a photo of the lovely poppy fabric from KF Collective,
a Philip Jacobs design, I love to see the fabrics from these three guys
in strips, two clean up cuts below
they play so well together, every time.
Now, one of the blogs I read is by Maria Cook
at
Maria works magic with indigo fabrics, beautiful rich and moody blues,
but one day she had few little pieces on her blog in cream/white. One of these
gems showed three little girls skipping and wow, I was back
with my friends all those years ago in Lancashire! Within a few minutes
of spotting this it was mine.
Here are the girls photographed on a piece of black felt.
Measuring 4" x 7.5", I'll mount it and have it framed.

Although we're now in Autumn here one of the pleasures of this season
is the view from where I sit at my machine
one of my early flowering camellias, it's always a joy to
look up and see this, a great way to rest the eyes.
