It is so hard to get a good photo of this quilt as it grows. I guess this will be last one as I have one more border to go.
I have just one more skinny border to add, and then I can attach to final border. So far it has taken me 2 months to make the top.
I went through my scrap boxes again to find the fabrics. They are totally random selections, and some are precious little bits I have been hanging on to for years.
If I finish the top by the end of the coming week, then I will complete the entry into the Sydney quilt show in June. Entries close on the 8th of March. That gives me 3 months to get it finished. I am pretty sure I could do it. It will just be a case of all my spare sewing time being devoted to this project. The weather is so unpleasantly hot at the present, does not feel nice to sit and sew. I have the ceiling fans going, and trying to get a cross breeze with the doors and windows open.
My goodness Wendy!! You have really done a wonderful job on this quilt, I'm loving it, and all those precious little pieces of old fabrics! I recognised two at least, and yes they are old indeed, I have only a few scraps of them left myself!!!!
