The Red Quilt is almost finished. I can't believe how quickly the pearl thread quits. I have enjoyed working on it this week while watching a bit of TV in the evenings. Now for the binding. I had to give it another post as I'm just a little pleased with it. I have included a photo of the back which I pieced with left over bits and other favourite reds.
Spring is definitely here in Ballarat. The trees are shooting away and it's lovely to see leaves on them again after a long winter.
. . . this is the back
back to school today, and it wasn't so bad. Everyone was fresh and ready to go for the final term of the year. The count down is on now for the long holiday.

Wow!!What a stunning front and back-you have really done a great job co-ordinating the fabrics-no wonder you are pleased. Glad your first day back was ok and that big holiday isn't that far off either!
I love your quilt! The colours are gorgeous!
I just linked over from Ric-Rac, and discovered your darling red quilt. I love the contrasting red and white with accents of green. I might have to make myself one.
Hi Annie, your quilt is lovely. I think the way you did the sashing was so original.
Beautiful plants -here we've had a lot of wind and rain so my hopes for a crisp Autumn of kicking up the leaves has disolved into an unruly soggy mess. :-( Maybe I'll grow up next year? LOL
Ilove the way you manage to get so close with your photos.
I love your red quilt, Annie! It is just perfect and that hand stitching - wow!
I can feel the excitement in your garden. Ours are getting ready for a little winter nap. (Not a very long one though, thank God!)
This red and white quilt is just gorgeous!! Are they still fresh at your school? We are in Week 3 and day light savings has just started so it has created lots of ratty and unsettled people!! Its our Show Day tomorrow so a sewing day at home!!Yippee!! Cathy

Well of course the front is so pretty but I do love patchy backs.
