Another New Quilt

I shouldn't be starting a new quilt.  But, I am.  I am making a quilt for a very dear friend of mine, Kelly.  She is from Canada and we became good friends while I lived in Alice Springs.  Now that I live in Brisbane it is so hard being away from her.  I miss her so much! I'm considering this quilt to be my holiday quilt.  A project just for these holidays.  Here are some photos to give a sneak peak of what I am doing.

 

This quilt will only be a lap quilt measuring 144cm x 144cm.  The fabric is a combination of batiks, neutral cottons and some Hoffmans.  Of course there are half-square triangles, but most of the quilt will be squares.  I'm so excited about this quilt.  I really can't wait for her reaction when she receives it!  The backing has been ordered so this quilt will be finished before I start next semester at the end of the month.

Tomorrow I am going to post about two quilts I did finish over the summer.  At the moment, I don't have anywhere to hang them.  If I only I had more walls in my room!

Rainbow

Just walked round to the library to pick up my hold item (can't wait to start flicking through the pages) and this beautiful rainbow was over our street.
