Rouenneries Quilt

I am VERY pleased to have finally finished my 2010 Friends in Stitching BOM quilt. It has been sitting in my sewing room waiting for a binding since July! I used one of  my all-time favourite ranges, Rouenneries by French General.

The day I cut and sewed the binding Oliver spent a relaxing afternoon checking it was snuggly enough ... naughty but cute!


A favourite block.

Binding .. solid red


Border .. I love this print.


Backing ... I love this print too!

I'll be back soon to share some more finishes.

  3. Oh your quilt is so beautiful Christine! Absolutely gorgeous.
    That is my all time favourite fabric line. I have some hoarded scraps but not really enough to do anything much with.
    Great pic of Oliver showing his approval.

  6. Oliver has the sweetest little face & it's very useful to have diligent quality control staff. I love the print in the centre of your star block & on the backing. Mind you, the whole thing is beautiful - great piecing. Tracee xx
