March Together

 Last weekend we welcomed Judy to our group and hope we did not put her off with our funny ways and our 'Bet'-ocracy. Judy brought along some lovely quilts that she had done with lots of applique. They are beautiful!

Karen was presented with the Almost Celtic quilt that she won.

We did a lot of discussing about the backing for our Disappearing Hour Glass quilt which is now all ready for sandwiching when we have an appropriate backing. It really looks stunning and will be bound in black when quilted.

Karen and Elaine worked hard all day joining the Brown Blocks together with their apricot sashing. The fabric on the left will be the backing and perhaps we'll have an apricot border all around the quilt top as well.

 

And our next finish was completed by Glenda with binding and label. If you would like to put your name into the draw for the quilt below please let me know asap.

 

The rest of us played with curves with a new block draw from Carol. It is a Drunkard's Path block and provided great opportunities for discussing colour contrast and sewing curves.

My show and tell was some chevron strips I am making out of my scrappy strips which just must be used up as I have no more space for them. I will continue sewing them as leaders and enders. I'm starting with the greens.
