Sunburnt Quilts

Quilts, Patchwork & Embroidery

March seems to have arrived in a hurry making it hard to think that two months of the year have snuck by already.

I have been working on several quilt tops over the last week – some new, some old.

This first one  is an older one. I had started the work on all the individual leaves last year. Now the quilt top is starting to come together.

These are fabrics from Leesa Chandler’s first line of fabric – Under The Australian Sun.

 

The coloured circles made with the drunkard’s path template have come together into this little quilt top.

Lots of bright colours and different fabrics in this one.

 

And this last one is a work in progress. I am using a pattern and fabric from Leesa Chandler again. The pattern is Southern Jewels and the Fabrics are from one of her most recent Australian flower lines.

 

 

Now I need to do a lot of sandwiching, pinning and quilting!

  • LJ says: I love your first quilt with the "Under the Australian Sun" fabrics. I've been under the spell of brights lately and this is the first muted quilt that caught my fancy. Will look forward to seeing the whole quilt!

  • Elaine/MuddlingThrough says: All three are gorgeous, but I especially like the bright colors in the circles. That was a lot of work. Your gum leaves DO look like the sun is glinting off them and the butterflies - oh my! That's a talented fabric designer you've found.
