Sisters are Special!

Are you lucky enough to have a sister?

My darling Mum made these dresses!
I am!


This is a quilt I recently finished for my sister's upcoming birthday....



I took the opportunity of some lovely Melbourne Spring weather 


to take some


rare outside photos!


This has been a rather long time in the making.....


So I am not sure, but I think I designed this one myself.

Although there is not much originality in it!


I had it professionally machine quilted by Desley 


@ Addicted to Quilts

As usual she did a fabulous job!



And that's where the spotted binding went!

Can you tell I love this quilt?

And I love that Helen loves it too!

Happy days!

  1. I really like the fabric and colour combinations in this quilt. I also like the way you have used the stripe fabric in the same section of each block then mirrored it in the piano key border.
    Love the backing.
    I think your sister is very lucky!

  7. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. A fantastic gift for your sister! What great colors, love the stripes framing the center square, and the piano key border is perfect! Well, then there is the perfect dotted binding and, what is that backing fabric? It is fabulous? I am sure my sister { Shawn 6 yrs older } would just cry if I gifted such a nice quilt to her :)

  9. What a lovely quilt and what a lucky sister to receive this as a present. I have five sisters all of whom are still waiting for quilts - I keep telling them all good things come to those who wait. Take care.
