We recently had some lovely Spring weather in Melbourne.
(Can you see the cherry blossom tree?)
So I took the opportunity to take photos of some of my older quilts.
Today I want to share another one I made some years back.
The pattern came from Australian Patchwork and Quilting Magazine.
This one was completely hand pieced and hand quilted!
I 'fussy cut' the little rosebuds in the centre of the 'melon' shapes!
A longer shot of all the cross hatching quilting!
That's the city of Melbourne in the background!
It is about cot sized, so it earmarked for my first grandchild!
(Probably a girl's quilt, don't you think!)
But as both sons are not even engaged yet, I could be waiting awhile!
A close up of the backing and the binding.
I think, if I remember correctly, the backing was bought from Ikea!
Reminds me of Dandelions!
All folded and ready to go!
Have a happy day!

Beautiful quilt Suz! what a lot of work! I actually did learn how to hand piece and hand quilt but I'm afraid I'm a machine girl at heart!! I do love hand embroidery and applique! I love the colours you have used in this quilt - your photos are always great!
Wow what an amazing quilt - you can see the hand quilting - it looks so beautiful.
Your hand quilting is beautiful. What a lucky grandchild you will have someday.
Another vote for the hand quilting, Suz. Definitely heirloom material!
