Forgive the shonky styling and the super-bright, soon-be-overhead, late-morning, late-spring sunshine, but I am very pleased to have finished this one, and that it worked out okay.
It's about 1.6m square, and took me five or six hours to quilt last weekend, listening to bossa nova and getting up every 40 minutes or so for a stretch and a cuppa. Good fun.I'm tossing up whether to throw it in the washing machine and then the drier so it will achieve that lived-in crinkly look I like so much. Ho hum.
It will be delivered this weekend, I hope. Then it's on to the next project!
This is the de-rigueur shot to show off the surprisingly neat job I made of the binding — especially on the corners!:: I have Golden Girl here with me this arvo, and this evening I'm off to see Andrew Bovell's play, When the Rain Stops Falling, on David's recommendation. He reviewed it for the West and said it was one of the best plays on in Perth this year.
:: Hope you all have a fab weekend!

Nice job!
Wow. I love the colours you have used and it looks beautifully made too.
Lovely! Especially the neat job of the binding.
Gorgeous work on this -- it's heavenly in every way. Nice to see that bright spring sunshine as well, just as our own days are getting so gloomy....
The quilt is lovely! Especially in that light, showing the texture of your quilting. Beautiful colours.
That is bloody gorgeous!!
Lesley this is so beautiful ...
