Despite some sluggishness on my behalf, I do have my
last two quilt finishes for the year!
While the weather has been sunny, it is also windy, so
photo opportunities are few and far between.
I chose to quilt in gently wavy lines, like a rain in a
rainforest.
I think Tommy Toucan is my favourite!
And the backing with its simple leaf shape was perfect!
I am confident that this will be well received by
Finnley's mum, come Christmas Day.

Peppermint Parade looked so nice on the chair as I left
it to be finished the other night....
And here it is on my bed.
It finishes at 78" square, so not even having one
agreeable quilt holder would be enough to show it off
any other way.
I started this back in January, and only finished
yesterday....
It was a wonderful distraction from the trials of 2021!
I found this striped fabric in my local quilt shop on sale,
and decided it would be perfect for bias binding.
I really enjoyed the process, and followed this tutorial
on YouTube as a reminder of how it's done.
I love that 60 cm (24") of fabric makes over 820 cm
(320") of binding

I probably won't be posting again before Santa comes down the chimney, so may your Christmas be filled with joy and peace.
Happy sewing!
