I have 108 of 'em from our clubs 12month swap last year ... and so far this is what I've put together and the quilt will be finished for DGS 7th birthday on 8th June. His favourite colour is dark blue and the best one I could get was the extra wide fabric for backing, he'll just love it. So far I've cut the half square and quarter square triangles and I am in the middle of cutting the strips to join the top together, then I'm in a quandry as to whether I put a narrow red or yellow border next before adding another d.blue one to finish the top.
One of our club members Evelyn is on her umpteenth churn dash quilt. This one she is donating to the local hospital.
I thought you might be interested in this little shoulder bag, this one Sue (a club member) picked up at the Bundaberg sunday markets at Shalom College. So simple but looks fantastic. I am now collecting ties.

Lovely blocks - they sparkle along beautifully!
Do like the tie bag, good use for all those ugly 1970s wide ones (where you wouldnt need so many for a bag...). I saw a stunning dress at Quilt Show in Melb YEARS ago (maybe 1994 or 5) that was all ties with the wide points along the hem, and narrow ones around the bodice, the maker had carefully unpicked and resized them. Two ties for shoulder straps).
Maybe Kay Brown was the creator???
