This is a quilt I started many years ago. It was being prepared as the baby quilt for a friend of my sister. The baby's gender was a secret so I had started working on both a boy and a girl quilt. The baby was a boy and so this quilt was spare. I eventually finished it years later and it will be donated to Quilts for Kids. It is based on a bargello pattern but I think as a baby quilt the overall effect is lost but I am happy with the overall look regardless.

Quilt 63 - Baby chevrons
This quilt was made for a challenge through my quilt group, Telequilters. We purchased a CD on 'Triangulations' which is an easy way to quickly make half- and quarter-square triangles. I used fabric donated to another lady in the quilt group by a friend who is a children's clothing designer, so they are beautifully patterned. Really happy with the result and quilt will be donated to Quilts 4 Kids.
Quilt 62 - Colourful frogs
This quilt was made using remnant fabrics donated by the fabulous team at the Alstonville St Vincent's Op Shop. There was enough fabrics for the repeated black and white frog print, which I think framed with scrappy materials in a colour theme - really love those colourful frames and they were a great way to use leftover material. Quilt to be donated to Quilts 4 Kids.
Quilt 61 - French mice friends
This quilt was made as a challenge from my quilt group Telequilters. The theme was a quilt with a 'window' view point. I found the gorgeous panel online and am really pleased with the result. Quilt will be donated to Quilts 4 Kids.
Quilt 60 - Thomas the Tank Engine
I made this quilt using fabrics donated by the fabulous supports at the Alstonville St Vincent's Op Shop. The quilt will be donated to Quilts 4 Kids.

Quilt 59 - Indigenous quilt
I receive donations of fabric from a local op-shop (Alstonville St Vinnie's Op Shop). Sometimes, such as this, the bag contains not just fabric but partly done quilt blocks or even a quilt top. The middle blocks from this quilt were donated, so I got a series of them together and sewed them for the middle. The addition of a bright orange inner border and a outer border made from a variety of Aborignal-themed fabrics completed the top. This quilt will be donated to Quilts 4 Kids.
Quilt 58 - Peanut Patch
This pattern is from a book called Patch Pals, and the specific pattern is Peanut Patch. I love this pattern - it's the second one I've made from the book and I plan on
making other patterns from the same book. This quilt will be donated to Quilts 4 Kids.
