Terra Australis

 Before Christmas I recieved some lovely prints (six prints from the Waratah on the right) from the Terra Australis range by Emma Jean Jansen from my friend Lisa.

I added some Moda solids to that collection on Friday at my local quilt shop - in a soft grey lavender, hot pink, orange (!) and lime green.  And for some reason the crazy chevron print at the front.  Using solids is enough to melt my brain but this print was "out there" for me!

  Of course Saturday when I popped into Hetties Patch, what was in the front window...Terra Australis!

So I added the four prints above the solid lime green.  

I vote to ditch the chevron and the orange...what do you think, am I being to conservative?

I used my new fabrics to make this!  My first block in the Stitchery dickory dock Sugar Block BOM I am happy with the way it turned out.  But as usual it was a tad smaller then the required size!  I really need to work on my 1/4" seam allowance, either that or start cutting a tad fatter?

 SEW I finally started a red and white school house block.  I made the one in the bottom left first.  Thought it was nice and proceeded to make another three.  And I don't really like them!  Not sure why, just not overly keen enough to proceed with a whole quilt.  So I think these are going to become a cushion that will match my red and white bedroom.  And perhaps I will try again, but in solids?  

Happy quilting, Sue SA.
