Quilt Number 2

I finallly finished Mia's quilt, it has a simpler design with the border, back and edge being the same fabric, which is a reproduction from the Victoria and Albert Museum in England.


I used 1 Moda jelly roll, Good Fortune, then bulked it out with white strips I cut, and all the left over bits.

The pattern came from here: http://quiltville.com/scrappytripspf.html

It was machine quilted by Kay and Mia picked a varigated thread and a dragon fly pattern.

It would have been bigger with 2 jelly rolls but you live and learn.

I have done the top of the quilt for my niece Nadine for her 21st, I just have to get the back done in plain calico and then I will also get it quilted by Kay.

The fabric for my quilt has been purchased and should arrive in the mail tomorrow.

Jerangle has been foggy and cold, this weekend particularly so, but no rain.
It is the official start of the ski season for New South Wales which means that every weekend from now for the next few months traffic will be a real pain for us to get out to our block and back again. The latest I will now leave to come home is 3pm, as it is dark by 5 and I hate driving the highway bumper to bumper in the dark.
