I finished the linen quilts and got them delivered today. I used black to even the pieces and an unbleached muslin for the back and binding. I'm pleased with the look, but one has a few tension problems on the back. She was pleased, so that is what matters.

I have never been to Australia, but would love to go. The panels were given to me by a lady at work. Her MIL was from Australia. They are hand painted souvenir wall hangings (one was a calendar) and are really pretty. They are not evenly cut or painted, so I had to sash them to even them up. She wanted a quilt for each of her sons for Christmas, and I just made it.
I did find that linen is hard on needles and thread. I did warn her it will really shrink and wrinkle if it is ever washed. She said they won't wash it, but they were warned.
