Hi there quilt watchers and makers, thanks for taking the time to stop by. Today I am sharing a lovely quilt made by Kerryn owner /operator of The Country Yard who ran a mystery quilt evening last Friday. Kerryn had me quilt the sample up that was shown well into the 'mystery' evening.
Made using dark and light 5" squares this is a gem of a scrap buster quilt! Kerryn asked for an all over quilting design and chose "Resplendent" and I used Warm Grey Glide thread which blended nicely over all the jewel box of country colours.
With the sashing and borders this quilt measures 73" square. The batting is a Matilda's Own polyester. Isn't it a lovely quilting pattern! Below is a photo of the back.
I decided upon finding an over flowing shoe box full of 5" squares I should and NEED to participate in the class...................it wasn't a mystery for me but still most enjoyable. I have made one quarter of the quilt so far.
A friend had a birthday recently and I like to give her a gift every year only this year I wasn't sure what to give. Then one day when I was having a play date at my machine something quite nice was evolving that I thought would make a nice present.
I used two layers of batting, one a polyester the other wool and my nice fine thread and really got stuck in with some heavy background fills and feathers. Then I topped the edge of the pretty tray cloth with a few tiny beads to hold the edges in place.

While out on one of my walks last week I spotted this lot lined up at the waters edge.................
See you next time!
