Problem solved

Thanks to those of you who offered solutions / ideas to this quilting problem.

In the end I decided to go with an upholstery weight fabric from Spotlight ... cheap as chips and the girl just loves it!!


It even has a bit of sparkly glitter through it!!


(Hard to photograph the sparkle ... but trust me!!)

Simply quilted and with matching binding ...


Happiness is a colourful girly picnic rug!!!


Have a stitchin' Tuesday!!

Andi :-)

    One of my daughters has an apron in that fabric! Isn't it funny to see others using fabrics you have? That quilt is just so pretty! I love the fabrics you have used. So pretty and girly. And that binding is a perfect match.

    Every picnic rug needs a bit of glitter to catch the sun. Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous - I love the colours and that binding is perfect.

    Oooh Andi, this is stunning! I might have to copy those colours together in something, I love them. The backing is great, and nice that it's cheap too! I love your stripe binding. Fab job xo

    I guess since it is the best pudding in the world I could pass it on. Well it is in our house anyway. I'll blog it next time I blog, so look out for it. The best thing about it is you don't need eggs so you can usually guarantee you have all the ingredients.
