I'm away on a little road trip
but I couldn't wait until I got home to share my latest
finish!
 |
| My lovely Aurifil threads! |
 |
| Hard to beat black and white binding! |
 |
| I'm trying to perfect the quilt swirl! |
These photos are taken outside Lakes Entrance, in the
east of Victoria, in a region called Gippsland.
 |
| I think the fold lines came from it sitting in the warm car on its little road trip! |
I like the way the hexie shapes highlight the lovely
Heather Ross prints.
There was a bit of wrangling getting those side
triangles
pieced in, requiring some 'y seams'.....
and maybe a bit of unpicking! #**!!
I'm not one to shy away from a challenge.
 |
| Maybe you can see the double rows of quilting in this photo? |
These photos are taken in Metung,
a beautiful fishing village long on my bucket list!
I have tentatively named it Violet Crumble but I will
finally decide when I get home to make a label.
It's always nice to have a close-up of
the backing and the binding...
And here's a better photo of the quilting lines,
1/4" on either side of the hexagons.
Is there anything nicer than taking a quilt with you
on the road trip?
This one certainly came in handy for afternoon naps
after a long day of walking!
I'm looking forward to getting home to start a new
quilt!
Happy sewing!
