Friday Flaunt

I have sewn the binding on this quilt so now it is finished. The quilt was machine quilted by Susan Moroney and is made from fat quarters I swapped with QDU'ers and scquilters from Australia and America. This shattered 9 patch quilt is for the lady we live with as night time carers. The panel on the back I bought from Logans at AQC and the other fabric was swapped with a lady in America who bought it especially for me from Joanne's I sent her an equal amount of Australian flora and fauna fabrics as well as some aboriginal prints. If you recognize a fabric you swapped with me please let me know as I have misplaced the list of swappers I kept.

Oscar's quilt
