Absolutely lovely Cathie! Well done!
Just out of interest, have you tried doing any free motion quilting? It could be nice to do some on the pale blue borders. Not saying it is necessary as...

That's beautiful Cathie, it is going to look great finished. Bronnie

Hi Cathie & Keith the Secretary!

Japanese fabrics are my favorite too; Fuzzie and I have had 4 trips to Japan and I can usually add to my fabric stash. Will post pix of one quilt using them. Blues are an universally loved colour...

Yes, we often laugh with our significant others, that we take perfectly good yardage of fabric, cut it up into tiny pieces and sew it together again.

Curtain making was one of my former lives too and I've sewed all my life with dressmaking and the like (6 decades, ouch!).
I'll put some pix up when Fuzzy (Franklin) shows me the tricks of this...

Hi Cathy
Great to hear about your quilting project. I belong to the Gold Coast Quilters Guild and from time to time members have made a football (rugby or AFL) quilt - mostly for male...
