A Finish Before the Year's End...

In between Uni assignments, writing student reports, teaching and life.....I did get this quilt finished!

Started when we were living in Seattle, it's made using whatever fabrics were sitting on my cutting table in early 2004.  Decisions about the borders were made and started on in a UFO class in Sunbury in 2005 and finally finished early 2010.

It was quilted by Kerrie at Black Forest Quilting during the year and I surprised myself by being able to locate the binding fabric later in the year.

 Pieced backings have become a favourite and I try to colour co ordinate them with the quilt front. The added bonus of pieced backing being that they used up fabric out of the stash...which is particularly in keeping of the original idea of this quilt...to use only what I had on hand.
Goal achieved!
