After many hours of sewing in the last week or two, I finished this quilt for my sisters birthday.
Many thanks to the ladies in my Australasian Quilting Bee, who made most of the blocks for the quilt. Thanks must also go to my mum, who is a super speedy binder! Seriously, she'd done nearly 2 sides by the time I finished one!
I ended up adding borders to all of the blocks to make them 14 inches square. The final measurements are something like 170cm by 200cm. All it needs is a wash and dry to bring out the crinkles.I love it, and more importantly, my sister loves it!
At some stage in the next few days I'll write out a list of all the lovely helpers I had to give to my sister, so she knows who made which block. Thanks ladies!

How gorgeous! The back looks as beautiful as the front, your sister will be able to us both sides!
How did you both bind at once? I think if I tried I'd end up having an accidental tug-of-war :)
