Binding Binding Binding
This is my long awaited (especially to be finished) lone star. I started this quilt a number of years ago when Deborah Dorward taught it at our shop. Her original quilt was made with 1930′s fabrics which i adored, but I really wanted to make it out of Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I also changed the applique to suit the more contemporary style of the fabric and also added a diamond border. It was this border that held up the completion of the quilt, as i found the whole thing a little daunting. Now it is completed, I love it and I am extremely glad I persisted. The first photo is actually of my cat (Mr Pringle) who had decided that the lone star quilt was a lovely place to sleep. So now only the binding to go….yeh! Also should mention the beautiful quilting. This was done by Elizabeth Zabinski of the Quiltworks, Ballarat.

thanks for helping her with the batting and back purchase, well after all that’s what you’r there for.
she got the borders on and it all sandwiched together, ready to hand quilt.

Hi Jan, just spoke to the supplier, they seem to have lost our order in the system. They have promised me that they will have it out today, so fingers crossed we will see it Tuesday! Will put it on the web straight away! Sorry about the wait.
