Japanese Quilt

Little Ma and and i started this quilt shortly after going to the Quilt and Craft Fair here in Adelaide. Thought it was time we made Wills something other than a knitted item. Bought the pattern at the fair and then got the fabrics from Brighton quilt store and also Logans quilts online with much picking and choosing. Took a few nights of a serious production line involving Little Ma cutting and pinning and me stuck to the sewing machine. This process was so fast the top of the quilt came together in the blink of an eye. After we had quilted the three layers of the quilt together we decided that to really make the quilt something special Little Ma quilted the border.
Here is the finished product and just in time for the cooler weather.


And the back. Little Ma used left over strips of all the fabrics and it really does finish the quilt well.



Holidays as of friday so hopefully more fun stuff will be happening including lots of quilting, knitting and gardening.

Hugs MnM
