Navy and white celtic

I really enjoyed making this quilt for you Jane as I was able to try out a new technique I have been wanting to trial. I managed to change the colour of the bias strip and match it perfectly to the seam line.The 9x12 quilt is the perfect size to experiment with.

Cheers Anna

NAVY and WHITE for Jane

Loved making this little quilt.

Thank you Jane. I think I had it made in the first couple of weeks.

With my helper, the computer and I, it all just happened.

Look forward to the next challenge, Kay.

Bring it on!

Wasn't it great that Quilt Encounter were willing to share our quilts with their quilters. To all accounts they enjoyed seeing all the different things we have done. Sixty quilts will have shown a great variety of ideas.

Our quilt group here, the Nelson Bay Quilters would also like to have a display with them in April 2012.

Will let you all know when this comes around.

happy quilting everyone.

Deb - Teacup Stack

I really enjoyed this theme. My first thought was to do a sailor - who doesn't like a man in uniform!!  Then I wanted to use some of my Japanese fabric collection which I thought Jane would like, so I looked at stacks of bowls and teacups and decided on the teacups. When it came to the quilting, white and navy looked very boring so I did some with red!

"Flutter By" - Navy and White - stitched by Margie for Jane

I admit to tossing around at night dreaming up grand ideas for our challenges but in the cold light of day the skills required for these grand ideas are beyond me! And so back to basics [and having fun] - out came all my navy and white fabrics, many of which were rejected for being more blue than navy, more cream than white. And I love the log cabin block and all its variations. I find it interesting that even though I did try very hard to cut and piece accurately the little blocks still look wobbly due to the scale of the prints.  Machine pieced and hand quilted.

I know I am late again .So sorry Judy. I am very careful not to view the latest pics until I have finished. That way I am not anxious that somebody had the same idea.THose that have spent time with me will know this was the right choice of subject.  5 oclocks drinks and nibbles ,something to look forward to at the end of a particurly long day.  Had fun with this one pondered over it at AQC knew what it was to be just could not find enough time to get the machine out.  I am off to the Sydney and Craft show tomorrow so will hopefully catch up with one or two of you if not then ,certainly in JUly. Can not wait.
