Community quilting day (19th August)

We had enough floral and oriental "One Step Beyond" blocks from the Monday group to make three quilt tops! Dawn came up with this layout that we used for all three tops, this one with a blue centre section, one with a red centre and one with a yellow centre. All three tops were finished to this stage on the day. Next they will each have a complimentary border added, then quilting and binding opportunities will be on offer.

The block layout is quite straightforward, but we had to really concentrate to keep the four pieces correctly aligned .... a little "reverse sewing" was required from time to time.


The next Community Quilts day will be on Thursday 16th September, at the Leisure and Learning Centre in Warne St, Pennant Hills, 10.00 am - 4.00 pm.  Come for as long as you can, for a fun day of sewing.
