Another Under The Australian Sun.
Posted on | February 19, 2015 | 15 Comments
This is my third quilt using fabrics from Leesa Chandler’s fabric line – Under The Australian Sun. And I still have more fabrics from this range to play with. Obviously it is a favourite.
This quilt is made from the lattice garden pattern.
Here is the fabric in the backing.
It has taken me a while to quilt this one. I worked on some areas then set it aside for a time. Then when I decided what to do to the next section I would get it out again. It would then wait for the next stage a few months later.
Straight lines around the borders and fans in the corners and setting triangles.
Flowers in the edge blocks and lots of pebbles.
Outlining for the waratahs and stippling around the outside.
Gorgeous flowering gum blossom in the binding.
Quilting from the backing.
I was very excited to have this finished as it has been worked on over several years.
But !!!! … I was too confident! When I was getting ready to take photos I noticed that one of the flower blocks in the bottom left corner had not been quilted. Thankfully that is an easy fix. I will do that this evening.
Then I can truly take it off my UFO list.
I do hope you are having a great week and catching up on some UFOs as well.
Cheers, Karen

Absolutely wonderful quilt using Leesa’s wonderful fabrics.
Karen Would love to know where the pattern came from ….would love to do it with Dutch tiles
Happily spent the weekend quilting
Wow… what a beauty! Both in your fabric choices and in your quilting. Wow again!
Oh wow! Well worth the wait of taking several months. You’ve done a fabulous job on it: from the fussy cut parts to the beautiful quilting. I’d see a part and think, “Oh I like this,” then see another part and think the same. You obviously love the fabric and the whole Aussie theme. This is definitely a “made with love” quilt!
Gosh, I’ve turned my back for 5 seconds and you’ve made this glorious quilt!!!! lol It looks gorgeous.
Cheers, Anita.
What a beautiful quilt Karen! The fussy cutting of the waratahs is a beautiful feature! And to think you have patiently been quilting this yourself! Congratulations on a great finish!
Fabulous quilt! Your quilting is exquisite and makes the quilt so stunning! Well done!
