Wonky Photos.

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
