Aviary Stars Quilt

This morning it was still and overcast ... perfect weather for photographing a large quilt outside. So here is my Aviary Stars Quilt.


It is made with Avairy by 3 Sisters and consists of Ann's New Years Eve Star blocks framed by simple borders.


I entrusted the quilting to Leanne at Esme's in Launceston. She always does an awesome job.





 The tone on tone pink backing fabric really shows off the quilting design.


I am rather obsessed with nice bindings with stripes being a particular favourite. If you share my obsession you might like to have a look at my Beautiful Bindings board on Pinterest. (another obsession!)

 

 To conclude, I hope all my readers have a wonderful relaxing Christmas wherever you may be. Today I officially start holidays until Feb 13. I hope to blog regularly over the summer ... there may even be a giveaway or two ... so until then ...
