My Wagga-Inspired Quilt
 

I made this of wool-blends. The batting is wool, as is the backing. It's really heavy--very warm!

oh that does look nice and warm. Cute quilt!!

Very pretty and I'm sure it is very warm! Great job!

A very cozy, comfy quilt. Silly me, what is a Wagga?
peace

the perfect winter quilt. Looks so cozy.

just what we need for this winter in Wis

I don't know what a wagga is either?

A wagga is an Austrailian utility quilt. I'm not Austrailian, but I love the idea of using what you have to make what you need. It's much the same concept as that of my great-grandmother's and grandmother's quilts--but they didn't use much wool.

I found it interesting that it was a men's craft originally.

The tie quilts are the kind we had when I was a child. Love the colors.And the color of the ties.

Well I like your very comfy looking "wagga"!

Love it Love it Love it.

I want to snuggle right down into it.

nicely done

Thanks everyone. Dalronix and Merivale--a special thanks since you live in the land of the Wagga! :)

Love it .... !!!

Looks so cozy and warm. Would go well with hot chocolate and a good book!

Nicely done.

Super quilt. Thanks for the link. Interesting. BrendaK

Looking good!

It does look cuddly and warm.

Beautiful job!

You've captured the spirit of the wagga beautifully! Well done. The fabric selection and the placement of the ties is really effective. Look forward to seeing more:)

Great quilt. Love the lay out and colors. Looks very warm during cold winter nights.,

Cute, love the wools and tying the quilt makes it even cuter.

Very interesting information. Love your idea.

We have four daughters. When they left home I had a closet full of rejected wool skirts, blazers, slacks, etc. I cut them up into squares and made several quilts out of them and the kids stood in line for them. They were flannel backed and had a light batt in them and they were very warm and cozy. Good job on your wagga!

Now that's a quilt! Love it

These are the quilts we used when I was a kid...only not as pretty!

Great quilt!!!

This is very interesting. Thank you for posting the site. Leaning the history of "quilting" around the world makes me even happier to be part of the quilting world. TFS

Loved your wagga. It just begs to be cuddled with.

I love that you tied it all of my grandmothers quilts were tied and then I discovered they also call it tufting.

considering the cold weather you must be experiencing ... this is the perfect quilt! awesome!

I love seeing tied quilts - this is similar to my grandmothers twin quilts she did for each of our boys. Thanks for sharing.

That looks so warm.....love it!!!

I love your "wagga;" the term is a new one to me. Like how you tied it also!

nice job!!!! would be great way to use up scraps!!!!

I really like that quilt!! Looks very warm.. what is the backing?
