Wonky Photos.
Posted on | January 24, 2025 | 12 Comments
I have been trying to get a couple of photos of this quilt, but the weather has either been too bright or too windy. So I resorted to taken a photo inside. To do that I have to hang it across the open doors of a cupboard. Sounds simple, but, no. It makes all the edges look wavy as the door edges and handles send it in every direction. I was going to find another way to do it, but then just figured that you know what’s going on with it and can tell what it looks like anyway!
As I said, a very wonky photo.
It started with two and a half inch strips for the four patches and four and a half inch squares.
With a four inch border it ended around fifty-six inches square.
I used straight line quilting on the diagonal. Keep it simple.
The backing was a lovely piece covered in koalas.
And the binding was a repeat of one of the four patch fabrics.
This one will go on the couch in Winter as a lap quilt to snuggle under.
I thought it would be good to start the year with a few easy quilts and this one fit the bill.
I am off to visit my mum in hospital rehab tomorrow. She is 96 and had a fall last week and broke her hip. It was operated on the next day. A few days later she was up and walking with a frame. She has now moved to rehab and is doing well. She is remarkable.
Cheers, Karen

Another lovely quilt. How cute is that backing fabric! I hope your mum is on the mend Karen. xx
Hello again, Karen! I’m sorry to read about your mom and hope she recovers quickly.
This quilt is perfect for spring. The colors and pattern remind me of grass and new blooms.
Glad your mom is doing well after the fall and surgery. Love your finished quilt! So pretty in those colors. I hear you on the weather when taking photos! Sometimes I just have to give up and wait until another day!
Very spring colored cuddle quilt! The koalas are adorable!!!
I hope rehab goes well for your mom. It sounds like she’s doing great, being up and walking already. She’s the same age as my mom, so I can really relate to your feelings.
All the best to your Mum, sounds like she is a strong woman! Good for her. (Hubz mum is a similar age) Love the quilt, great start to the year…

Best wishes to you and your mother, Karen. 96! What an achievement! I hope she makes a full recovery. Your latest quilt finish is lovely.
A lovely quilt to start your year off. I’m guessing you had the yardage on hand? All the +ve vibes for your mum, glad she’s progressing well.
Wishing your Mum a speedy recovery which sounds like it is… NiCe quilt to snuggle under this winter too.
Hi Karen. Your quilt is lovely and will be very cheery and cosy in the winter weather. Sorry to hear of your Mums fall. Wishing her continued steady recovery xx
The quilt looks great, and I love the koalas on the back. What a great Mum you have, i can hardly belive she is up and walking again after breaking her hip. 96 Not Out!
I hope Mum is recovering well.
The simple quilting is perfect. Why overcomplicate such a pretty quilt when a few straight lines will do such a great job.
Sorry about your mom, hope she heals well.
