Whilst waiting for Jane at Kempt Tower in St Ouen's Bay, I quickly took a few photos of the girl quilt made by members of the FQR kinky bee for the Siblings Together charity. The quilt will be delivered to the 2013 Fat Quarterly retreat in July.
My contribution was the wadding, quilting the quilt and sewing on the binding which was beautifully prepared by JoJo. Gertie Pye (Lisa) donated the backing. I have used a pantograph called batik to quilt it and I went as large as I dared.
I'm pleased to have this ready to go in the FQR drawer with my sample swaps and scrap strip swaps. Now I need to finish my Japanese X & Os quilt and Stars quilt to also take with me, however I will need to leave some space as there is a vendors mall on the Friday evening. :)
I may donate another quilt which I've made or is in the progress of being made. Today I've been quilting a client's quilt. The half square triangle blocks are huge and I've now got to the stage where I can't ignore that the quilt is not square and will have to adjust it as best as I can.

Sue, the quilt is fabulous and the quilting does it great justice. Can't wait to see it in the flesh!
it looks wonderful... and I am sure will be gratefully received and loved x
gorgeous. the quilting is fab, sue
Just so gorgeous Sue! I love the quilting design that you chose and it really shows the blocks off well. Just a shame I probably won't be at the retreat to see it in person all beautifully finished! X
This quilt is so gorgeous Sue! I've decided I only like the scrappy trip block when it has a uniform colour through the centre like yours has. That's as scrappy as my ordered brain can like! The colours are divine. Great job. A girl of any age will love it.
