Raggy Quilt

It has only taken me almost three years to complete this quilt, but it just made it to be wrapped in Christmas paper as a gift!

 it has a variety of patterns.......plain, stripe, check, geometric, floral, circles, farm scenes, gumnuts &  some hand printed pieces, but i tried to keep the colours compatible.

i used cotton fabrics from shirts, table cloths, curtains, doona covers, pillow cases, sheets & bits & pieces from op shops from near & far. some of the fabrics go back to the seventies, the dominant orange & gold one & the little brown rose print.

 my inspiration came from my sisters, they  had  all made raggy quilts a few years ago & i really liked the look & feel of them  i wanted the edge to be raggy too so i cut bias strips from the shirt fabric & stitched it around the quilt to secure the outer squares before cutting.

happy new year to all!!
