Tali's Quilt

My very special niece Tali recently turned 12. Tali's favourite colour is lime green, (just like me when I was her age!) so I had to make her a lime green quilt.

 
I used the Apple Crate quilt pattern from the Moda Bake Shop.
  
The greens are from lots of different ranges .. I have been collecting for quite a while ... and the white with a tiny green spot was a Quilt Soup fabric by Barbara Jones called Simply Sweet.

 
 On the back is Penny Lane by Deena Rutter for My Mind's Eye, a Riley Blake fabric. It is my favourite fabric in this quilt. The gorgeous quilting was done by my friend Leanne.


  Well, I made it to the end of term and am now enjoying school holidays. For the first few days I was still too 'brain dead' to do much stitching ... I just didn't have the concentration to do much at all. BUT now I am ready to get stuck into my HUGE pile of UFOs and start on some swap gifts that need to be completed between now and Christmas. This morning I read somewhere that it's less than 12 weeks to Christmas ... eeek. Have a great day wherever you are. I'll be back soon.
