He's a cutie!

Well, I think so anyway ....

I have finished the '6 geese are laying' block for my 12 Days of Christmas quilt.

 Last weekend hubby and I went to Bairnsdale for a friend's 50th birthday. On the way I manged to visit a couple of quilt shops. At Lily Lane Patchwork in Rosedale I spied some potential backing fabric - 'Acorn' by Hoffmann Fabrics, that I think would look good for this quilt.

 I also visited Candleberry Country in Yarragon where I was delighted to see Natalie's (the store owner) version of the 12 Days quilt in lovely soft colours. Because I had purchased the pattern (Viv's creations) she let me take some photos. Seeing her beautiful quilt has inspired me to complete all the stitched borders as I was considering simplifying it down to something easier...

...what was I thinking?

I really like the quilting that has been done down the vertical lines where the blocks meet, simple but very effective.

Thanks Natalie and Viv for letting me share these pics.
If you want to see more of the blocks I have completed go here.
Cheers.
