I had a lovely time colouring in the wedges. Well, actually, going through my stash finding fabric that was fun and charming. When I came across the background fabric I almost swooned. It was just sooo perfect. I bought everything left on the bolt and used it all up.
Not a great photo, I'm sorry. The quilt was hand quilted using mainly Perle 12, which is finer than Perle 8. For a better idea you could always purchase the magazine it is printed in. Australian Quilters Companion "Old Quilts Made New" has just hit the newstands.
Back soon, promise.

Such a fun quilt. Love your unique border. I will look for the magazine.
Your quilt is lovely, Liz! I love it! And I know of a shop that carries the Australian mags, which are always so beautifully photographed and have such unique quilts!.....I'll check and see if they have it yet! Yay!
Love your quilt! Have to see if the magazine has made it to this side of the pond yet!
So are you saying, in your humble way, that YOUR quilt is featured in this magazine? If so, that is very cool! I've never seen the Australian magazines in my neck of the woods. Shucks!

You will be pleased to know that although I was not a quilter when you sent me thise delicious fabrics, I am now a beginner.
