Postage Stamp Quilt

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

This year the Ballaarat Quilter’s Xmas Challenge was a fabric. So we had to make a quilt or anything really using this fabric. The fabric is the chocolate in the photos below. I have always loved the small little squares often used in vintage quilts and I have always wanted one myself!  (it only has 400:  4-patch blocks)

Drum roll please………………………………. and the winners are (drawn randomly)

  1. Lucy Says: These little patterns would come in ever so handy in my box of gifts to make. I would so love to win this prize. THey are such great patterns. Just adore the little strippy cot quilt.
