Another Quilt Finish

Two quilts finished in the same week doesn't happen very often around here. In fact, I'm sure it's a first. After another big binding session All Wrapped Up is complete.


 The white background is much whiter than it appears in most of these photos. It is from a range called Sweet Shoppe which is one of my current favourites.


 The rest of the fabrics are from the Flurry range by Kate Spain.


The quilting was done by my talented friend, Leanne at Esme's in Launceston.


The blocks were really easy to piece ...


and the quilt went together quite quickly.


 I choose this red and white print for the backing ...


and the binding.


 Yesterday I had a lovely day at the Cherry Shed in Latrobe with some sewing friends ... some bloggers, some not. We stitched, laughed and ate from 10.00 am til nearly 5.00 pm. I had such a good time that I forgot to take any photos, however I'm sure Sarah will share some soon. Hope I don't look too gruesome!

Today I've been piecing a backing for a quilt top completed way back in 2004. It is rather different to the things I make now ... photos coming soon.
