    I just want to take time to tell you that you have a really neat use of color!
    The work, of course, is excellent - - but, I really enjoy your color combinations ...
    Thank you for sharing!

    So, then I go back to look at the pictures one more time, and amazingly! I find three more pieces, and again! You use colors really nicely.
    Good job!

    Bored yet? These are the last for the moment. I made this quilt for a friend out of 10kg bread bags. I only used the fronts then added sashing etc. I had seen one of these quilts years ago, and thought "hmmmm. one day". This type of quilt is called a "Wagga" I believe.

    Please give me an honest opinion as to whether you like it or not. My daughters are not too enthralled with this type of quilt (I am making 2 more!!), but my friend and her family were rapt.

    I am in the death throes of finishing a quilt for my youngest daughter, Emma. It is a king size plus black and white log cabin with a D9P back. Wheww, that was a lot of piecing, a hella lot of quilting and a hella lot of fabric - and, I loved every minute of it!!

    The back. I love the little mushrooms.

    A close up of the stippling. May have to learn to do something new me thinks.
