It represents a few milestones for me; my first quiltback, pieced from different fabrics;
the first time I have machine quilted a quilt larger than a cot quilt; the first time I have designed a block rather than referred to a book.
Knitting is also on the agenda. I've made two sleeves so far
and also undone the first few inches of the back several times. The edge pattern is complex and I lose track of where I am up to very easily.
This weekend saw us take a trip three hours drive west of Sydney to a town called Bathurst. On the way we went for a bushwalk into the amazing Grose Valley where my husband, big kid that he is, couldn't resist "planking".
Nearby, I was having kittens.

Still one of my favorite quilts of yours. I like the back too and you did a great job centering the inner square!
That is truly a great finish!I love everything about it.(Especially the arrangement of warm and cool colors.)
Wonderful quilt! Congrats on breaking out the mold...
Oh Liz your quilt is wonderful! I have never pieced a back before for fear of having it crooked and you did it great :0)
Why do our "men" have to be like boys? I often say, Bob is 12 going on 66 LOL.

Love your quilt, you do scrappy quilts so well.
We had a couple of ludicous discussions on "Planking" a month or so ago when my 11 year old asked why people would do something so silly...I'll have to show him your "Planker"
Hope you had a pleasant weekend in Bathurst.
Mmmm-mmm, I do love that finished quilt. It is so eye-catching.
Boys will be boys, and so will the men. : )
