Some spectacular quilts seen in ‘show and tell’ sessions at recent meetings …

Susan has finished her second large quilt using her Westalee machine quilting rulers. The blocks were made during an online course, then joined together with the striped sashing. |

Most qulilters are familiar with written and illustrated patterns, and with mystery quilts where the end product is not known but there might be diagrams. Another of our several Susan’s made this quilt as part of a challenge where each different block was made from written instructions only! |

Susan is obviously very good at following written instructions! |

The disappearing four patch block is a favourite with Lynette. She has made several for our community quilts collection, and now she has made this large beauty for own home. The Japanese indigo fabrics in the blocks were collected in Japan during many trips to a country she loves and has previous ties to. The deep cream background compliments the red and indigos well. The individual squares were originally cut to 10”, so the blocks are substantial.

The backing is made from different lengths of Japanese fabrics from Lynette’s stash. The quilt has been professionally quilted. |
