This post is a blockbuster with some of the blocks I have made in the last couple of months.
First up is my latest for the Value Proposition Quilt...

I have been putting most of my effort into my blue version of Antique Wedding Sampler. The first 'J Block' below was designed by my sister from the original quilt.

Gossip in the Garden is finished!

I have a finish-yay!!! And when I say a finish I mean a real finish, quilted, bound labelled and gifted!


I made this quilt as a BOM through Elm Grove Patchwork. I loved the fabrics that Lenora chose, I made just a few changes by adding in some soft lime green and more yellow fabrics. I also put a blue framing border in, I got that idea from the Friday Threaders group (thanks!). I met up with Lenora at the Australian Quilt Convention last month so I was able to show her photos of the quilt. I also met Annie Downs, the designer of the quilt, there and showed her photos too - oh the joys of having a smart phone!


Anita from Hillside Quilting did a great job on the quilting...








I'm a bit disappointed with the photos, they were taken on my iPhone and they look fantastic on the phone and my iPad mini but when I put them into Blogger they loose their sharp definition - anyone have any suggestions?

Cheers
