I think that is the name of the fabric in this quilt. I know I bought it quite some time ago, maybe 10 years?
Not totally sure.
I found a pattern designed for layer cakes, but also altered for charm packs. That was what I had in my pile and thankfully there was enough to make this quilt. It ended up at 40 X 54 inches.
The pattern is a free one from The Fat Quarter Shop and is called Layer Cake Crepe. Sometimes I have pre cut fabrics that I am not sure how to use, so this might be a pattern to use again.
I used a soft green thread to quilt the teardrop design. It hides on most of the blocks, but I do like seeing it on the darker backgrounds.
This gives a better representation of the quilting.
The backing is another of the fabrics I bought at a closing down sale.
Yes, the lemons on the tree are ripening up.
I found green and black fabric to use for the binding, and all was done.
A couple of smaller projects have also been completed.
This is a little wool felt hoop project from Fig’n’Berry. There is a tape measure hiding on the side to show how small it is.
Next up is a little Easter ornament.
This is from a pattern by Needle Finery called Elegant Eggs.
It has been very cold here, but every now and then we get some lovely sunshine. On this particular day we were visited by many of our native birds. We had king parrots, crimson rosellas and these ones – maybe eastern rosellas or lorikeets. I need to get my bird book back out.
They do help to brighten the day.
( I have just had a good laugh at spell check – it wants to change rosellas to lacrosse, and lorikeets to strikeouts. Oh dear!)
I hope you all have a good weekend planned. I have lunch with friends and a sewing afternoon tomorrow, and then a catch up with my sisters and our mum on Sunday. And son, DIL and grandies and Monday. That should keep me going for a while.
Cheers, Karen

What a pretty quilt! Every part of it goes with every other part in perfect harmony!
Love the felt projects, too. Happy Days!
Your Layer Cake Crepe quilt looks a lot of the GE Designs Koby quilt! Koby is the pattern I used for my Dance in Paris fabrics. Fabulous quilting! Love seeing the texture in the light. Great way to pick up backing fabric, too. Super cute colors in your quilt!!! Your birds are so colorful and fun to see!
Another lovely quilt finish Karen! The quilting looks great on the blocks. That is definitely an Eastern Rosella. I sat and watched a small family of wrens out my front window on a sunny morning recently. The bright blue patch on the breast of the male drew my eye. Sadly I was too far away for a photo! Enjoy visiting with your family and friends.
I love the quilt Karen and a great pattern… I will look for it as I also have some layer cakes that need using. The birds are lovely to watch – spell check does make me laugh sometimes…. how cute is your tiny teddy…. sounds like a busy next few days.. what fun… keep warm

You do have a busy few days planned, I always think it is so nice to have things to look forward to. Love that Easter bunny and his basket of carrots.
