Recent community quilt finishes

The feature fabric in Sue's Irish Chain (also used for the
backing) was from the bargain shelves at our local large
quilt shop just before it closed down. If she'd known is
was going to close, Sue says she would have bought the
bolt. The background fabric is a great choice too. And the
chain fabric is a tiny red and white check, rather the
pink that might appear on your screen.




Linda used a pack of 2 1/2" squares bought long
ago in Japan, and simple white sashing for this 
gorgeous quilt.



Dawn made a series of jelly roll quilts after a sewing
day a few years ago when we focused on using strips,
and she is still working her way through her
strip stash. This one evokes sunrise.

Three beautifully made foundation pieced blocks
that were generously donated to the community collection
form the central strip of this quilt, with borders of large
scrappy flying geese in complimentary colours.
Jill put the top together, and it has been expertly
quilted by Yvette on her longarm machine.
A team effort, with special thanks to the original maker of
the blocks, which are a Chris Jurd design.

Some of the Art Gallery fabrics from Sharon Holland's
'Sketchbook' range used in the donated blocks were sourced
to be included in the flying geese and sashing.
Other fabrics were donated by members.
