Two UFOs completed ...& a Beach UFO!

The Delft Blue quilt is finished - it’s always good to complete a project! The final quilt measures 144cm x 178cm or 57”x70”, single size.

This quilt is now available from my Etsy shop.

 

Also complete is a quilt made from a Moda “Nostalgia” Layer Cake. I pieced this top while watching coverage of cyclone Yasi in February 2011. I can’t believe that it was two years ago now, which just shows how long things can sit around as UFOs.

This is such a wonky, odd little quilt of my own design – I literally just picked up the layer cake and started playing with it. I had it quilted by Jeanette of Quilting Platypus in December 2011 when she was just starting out with her long arm quilter at an introductory discount rate. She did such a good job with it because it is quite wonky. The backing is a pretty Art Deco style floral print in duck egg blue/brown.

So finally after two years I went in search of a binding and was really happy with the striped binding I found. It incorporates all the colours on the front of the quilt, and links into the blue/brown of the back with a blue stripe which is an exact match. Once again the binding is cut on the bias

This quilt is now available from my Etsy shop.

Speaking of ufos - here is a small ‘pipi’ ball which I discovered washed up on the sand during my beach walk on Christmas Day 2012.
