I finally got around to finishing the scrappy quilt that had been lying on my sewing table for weeks while I messed around with other more interesting things! I used white to bind it, and pink flannelette for the backing. I've got heaps of this childrens design flannelette from when I was making quilts for the babies in Papua New Guinea, but sadly, that project seems to have fizzled out due to the astronomical cost of transporting the quilts to PNG, then getting them overland to the highlands where the natives live. So I suppose I can continue to make baby/childrens quilts from time to time, to use up that flannelette!
One of the other projects I was messing around with was a table runner using some cat fabric that was given to me by my lovely friend Sylvia in NSW who is a cat lover as well as a collector of Royalty memorabilia. Her blog is
here. I hope she sees this - she sent me a heap of cat fabrics and I have been slowly using them up for various projects, but still have a lot left in my stash:-)
This is the top, which only needs backing and binding to finish it.

the hospitals here are always in need of baby quilts, Gina. Let me know I can forward them for you
They both look great, Gina ... you have been working hard !!
love that scrappy quilt
A cat themed table runner, that's a great idea, will go so well with the cat collection. Just need the motivation and find my fabric.
Such a beautiful scrappy quilt!
