I managed a 9th finish for January this evening.
All this quilt required was binding, but before I show you the binding let me show you the quilting.

These curves and circles were quilted on O-me and were definitely a bit of trial and error, they used my new quilting frame template patterns. With a bit more practise we should get along just fine.

The finished result is this quilt for a sailor on board HMAS Toowoomba, as part of Aussie Hero Quilts.
( I hope he likes the Wallabies.)

This sailing inspired laundry bag will be travelling with the quilt.

I will just need to keep making soldier quilts, so I can practise my quilting.
Hopefully I can keep up my finishing momentum.
