is finished!
Seems winter is not!
I took an opportunity to take some photos of my
latest finish....
but there was an icy wind
and I had to hurry.

Hence some blurry photos!
I pieced and quilted in Aurifil #2310, with a diagonal
wavy line...
and took a photo of my settings
so I would know for next time.
I even remembered to quilt my label in this time.
This quilt will be given to my school fair to raffle.
Hopefully someone will snuggle under it next winter!
Happy days!

It's been hot and smoky from nearby forest fires at my house, a chilly wind would be most welcome. The quilt is lovely!
Your quilt is beautiful, I think those icy winds have reached tasmania, Its sunny today but the wind is freezing.
Looks fabulous - a very generous raffle prize. Like the quilting too.
It's just gorgeous Suz - I love the colour palette. What is that zingy green fabric?
woohoo......looks great......
Love the fresh colours in this quilt - I am using the wavy serpentine stitch to do a quilt right now too:)
Looks fabulous!!
That's a fabulous donation to the school raffle. I hope it raises lots of money.
I didn't know you got icy winds in Melbourne.
Nice work, Suz! I'm sure it will do very well for the school's raffle. It might even be needed for snuggling this year, if Melbourne keeps up its current form :((
Lovely, so fresh! What size were your pieces cut?
Thanks,
Kate
A great finish for this one! Love the way it works with the vintage backing. Stay warm!
What a great finish! How sweet of you to donate it for a raffle :) someone is going to love snuggling with that quilt!
Gorgeous finish!! Great idea with the quilting, very kind of you to donate it, it will make a much sort after raffle prize :-)
I really like the presence of this quilt - calming and with such a warm feel about it! And so nice to see that Aurifil gave you a shout-out! Totally envy your winter weather - it's been a long summer here and I'm ready for some cooling.
Oh, I love it! And love the vintage sheet backing!
oh this is a fun one and I love the serpentine!
It looks so wonderful Susan. Great colours.
Winter citrus is a great name for it. The yellow gingham binding is a cheery touch too. Very nice
Photographing your settings you used for the quilting is a top idea! :-)
The quilt is pretty darned cute too - lucky school!

It's beautiful Suz, it looks so soft and snuggley, You always come up with the best names for your quilts and I love the backing fabric too.
I just bought Jen Kingwell's book because i loved your quilt so much.
What a lovely donation quilt. Someone will be very lucky to win this bid and have hours of snuggle time
A delicious looking finish that is certain to be a favourite with the lucky winner of the school raffle. Well done, Suz!
This is beautiful, Susan. I love the interplay of oranges and limes and brights--reminds me of the trees outside our window. Your school is a lucky beneficiary!
Oh I just love thus one. So scrappy and yet controlled with the fabric placement scattered around so nicely.
Hi Suz! You make gorgeous quilts and projects... including your cute quilt label!
Happy stitching and wishing you the best from Tokyo, xoxo Amy
What a beautiful and generous gift! I love the backing xx
Oh it looks GREAT!!!! What is the pattern called so I can file this away? I love that you take pics so you can refer to the settings in the future! I used to write it down on a post it note that I'd invariably lose by the time I needed it again. Brilliant idea!!! The squiggle stitching adds a lot of movement.
I love your quilt, lots of fun fabrics and the quilting is just perfect. Thanks for taking a photo of your settings for your machine since I have the same one and will be sure to use it. We're experiencing hot humid weather and remembered that it's Winter down under. Stay warm!
