The blocks were donated by me. They were left over from a stack of blocks I was given from another group of Quilting friends for my 50th birthday.... let's just say quite a few years ago, like maybe a decade but who's counting! Joy found a suitable fabric she had ample of for the sashings but one of the challenges in deciding on a layout is that there was one block that was just a lot stronger in colour than the others.
After a bit of fiddling, Joy decided to put it on point in the centre. Just as she was happy with it (well reasonably happy) I gave her a small piece of fabric that featured in several of the blocks. After a bit more fiddling, Joy used it to border the central block. Wow, what a transformation that was. The quilt is now off for quilting.
What a great job Joy. I am thrilled that a random few blocks that I had no vision for have made such a lovely quilt thanks to you. We look forward to seeing this finished soon!!
This lovely painting took out first prize in a competition. The theme was "Reflections" so thinking outside the square looking for something other than the usual water reflection, Chris chose the high gloss of a car as her reflection. There is amazing detail in this very clever painting. Congratulations Chris!
