Yes friends, you read right, this non quilt maker made a quilt!
And... I love it to bits!!
Disappearing Nine-Patch Lap Quilt, purchased as a kit earlier in the year from Patchworks Plus, Tasmania.

I found it to be a great learning project in trying to get my seams & joins super-accurate.
Measures 48inches square
Many of you will be familiar with the fabrics; it's Vintage Modern... charm squares & some extra. I had long admired this range, but never had an idea of what I would make.

Thank you so much Sarah, the quilting is just perfect x
I think these are my best ever binding corners.The grey fabric with red flowers is the backing.
Love It. Love It. Love It.
This one is a few firsts for me... first kit quilt... first time of getting something professionally quilted... first time of using a whole range of fabrics instead of just a few... first time sewing a project using mostly pre-cut fabric...
I wanted to challenge myself to a few things, & I learned a lot.
Being that this is actually the 3rd quilt I've made (the others are here & here) perhaps I can call myself a 'maker of simple quilts'... yes? Maybe 'non quilt maker' is not quite accurate any more?
Especially because I am already planning my next one!!

Good on you - you definitely are a quilter it is beautiful and those corners are perfect. Even the site manager is giving you the big thumbs up!!
I think you can call yourself a maker of beautiful quilts too! I love it & Vintage Modern is a divine range. Your corners are awe inspiring. I'm having a bit of a corner crisis at the moment, don't know what I am doing differently but they are being a challenge. Four more to try & manage on a table runner tonight, wish me luck! Are we meeting up with Maria before Christmas, was it the 14th she mentioned? xx
Fabulous Anthea. Well done. Love everything about your quilt and look forward to the next one. Sharyn:)
