Finished

Well the evil one moved and the binding is now sewn down. I had a teal shot cotton in my stash that matched perfectly.
Not the best of photos with the wind blowing and the colours are a bit washed out.
I am going to take the plunge and show a close up of the quilting-I know it's not perfect but I'm happy with the way it turned out.
And the backing fabric-


I forgot to take a picture of the finished Plus quilt that I showed in the last post but it was well received by my sister and I got to sleep under it during my visit. Melbourne had the coldest start to June in 38 years and it chose my visit for that record!!
One of the sights used in publicity about Melbourne are these very colourful beach huts that are walking distance from where my sister is living so there were a few visits to take photos-along with all the other tourists!! They were amazing and I can see some Beach Hut blocks in the future.

 
Loved this photo I managed to capture of a Pelican on the walk-

Also impressive were these birds that we saw on a bush walk- Crimson Rosellas
Tomorrow it's off to Wellington for 5 days to attend two separate conferences so the winter woollies are packed.

  4. Such a lovely finish... your quilting is wonderful! And I love that pic of the beach huts, where in Melbourne are they? (I'm popping over to visit my son & DIL & would like a beach walk!)

  5. What a wonderful quilt! I'm really impressed by your quilting, it looks great. How funny that Melbourne turned out to have a cold spell, but those huts certainly brightened up the day. It's a great idea to do a quilt inspired by them.
