Inspired in Sydney, Hand Made in Australia, PQ 9.6. I'm so excited to have completed this project while on vacation this week in Australia. We flew out at 9:30 p.m. on Saturday night, before the theme was announced. I carried along about 18 fabrics, in the hope that, with what I brought, I'd have what I needed. In our hotel room on Sydney, was an art print (all rectangles) similar to what you see here. That,was my inspiration.
I cut the pieces using paper patterns and my scissors, since I had forgotten a small cutting mat. I sewed on the tour bus and in our room whenever time was available. All the seams were measured and marked with a p3bcil so I would know where to sew. I found a free, thick magazine which I was able use with my rotary cutter to square up the block and the quilt. It's been completely created by hand, and that was the biggest challenge. Normally I avoid hand work as much as I can, but this week I didn't have a choice. The result is something that's not as perfect as I would normally make, but I met my personal challenge to complete it all by hand. This project measures 8" x 8" and is made from 16 fabrics, counting the backing.
