Australian fabric Quilt finally finished!!
 
2 Attachment(s)
I actually finished my UFO that really was a PFO (partially finished object). someone said FFO is a finally finished object and that fits this one for sure. I'm thinking of sending it to my Sister in Houston. She fell in May and broke her left arm and her nose. Later found her right knee was also broken. She has pins everywhere now (and they aren't for sewing!).
I had tons of trouble moving this quilt around to quilt it. I'm just glad it's done.

I live in Tasmania Australia and have to say I have NEVER seen so many Australian fabrics as you have there in your quilt very nice job indeed

I love the Australian fabrics and the way you finished your borders. I also like the thin black sashing framing each block on point. Beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing.

Love those fabric choices, and the way you framed every block in black. Makes them pop on the beige background. She's going to be elephant glad an well delighted.

Great job!

dunster 07-03-2012 11:48 AM

Gorgeous! I love the variety of Australian fabrics, love your design.

nativetexan 07-03-2012 12:13 PM

Thanks. I"m not sure of the peach ones, if they were Australian prints or not. and the side triangle fabric. but they went!
I was just happy to get these fabrics cut and used up. i got tired of moving them every time I wanted to use my sewing room. Some of the fabrics were from swaps, some purchased.

Lorraine Simon 07-03-2012 12:43 PM

Very impressive quilt
What a lovely thing for your sister. Don't leave and pins on it.

That fabric really is cool... a very Aboriginal feel to it. I love it! I think your sister would love it, too... and maybe it would help her heal quicker!

xsquilter 07-03-2012 05:24 PM

Beautiful quilt! The fabrics are gorgeous!

Nice quilt! Might just give me the final push to get going with my stash of Aussie fabrics....thanks!

sandrabrueggeman 07-04-2012 02:53 AM

The colors are great, real pretty, good job

Maralyn 07-04-2012 04:36 AM

One of my customer's has a son currently visiting Australia - should I call and have him bring fabric home?

KLO 07-04-2012 05:39 AM

What a great use of fabrics that you want to keep in large pieces or large print fabrics. It's such a "simple" (not meaning easy) design that it really highlights the fabrics. The small black sashing just sets the whole thing off even more. Can you tell I love this quilt? Really!

carolynjo 07-04-2012 06:31 AM

I like the layout you chose; I would not have thought of it. Hope your sis heals nicely and enjoys the quilt. If she doesn't like it, you can always send it to me! LOL
