New finishes

The elongated hexagons between the tumbling blocks 

in Julie’s latest quilt make its construction more complex 

than it looks. It provides negative space that gives the 

design lightness and highlights the use 

of tone in the tumblers.

Then they had to be aligned in the regular 

sequence Julie preferred.

It’s all worked beautifully, complimented by 

Sue Olma’s quilting.

‘It’s just clamshells’ said Marilyn. 

It’s a bit more than ‘just’ clamshells!

The clamshells are dainty (more than 500 of them!) but the
quilt is big. Many, many beautiful fabrics.

Beautifully quilted by Cathie Calvert. It is magnificent.

Miriam’s crocheted fabric bags have inspired Daphne to
make a cotton yarn version using two strands of yarn,
 for a more stretchy finish.

We swooned over the very chic Paris print that Julie used for
 the centre for this small quilt, and its pastel borders.
