I went to my LQS for a Girls Night In fundraiser. There were about 15 of us. It was a mystery quilt sewing night.
We did have some pre cutting and sewing and more cutting to do before class. With the preparations done I was set...
All set up and ready to sew.

This pattern is called tipsy turvy. It looks a bit like the disappearing 9 patch block pattern but we made ours in strip sets. We started with 1 metre of 3 different fabrics. It made a smaller quilt than I wanted. A great cot size though or lap quilt. I added 3 extra rows. I still need to add borders.
So here is the quilt top laid on the fabric I have chosen for the backing. I think it matches perfectly.

I agree with Kim , just fantastic... great effort for you all.
Fabulous backing for your quilt Jo...
What a lovely group of quilts. Amazing how different they all look. I love your fabric. In NZ there are two trees/ bushes with a similar red blossom called rata and pohutakawa. What is the Aussie version called?
The quilts are lovely, and dinners looks wonderful ♥
So many beautiful quilts and all so different ! Oh wow the food looks so yummy ,I am sure you all enjoyed the retreat 😊
That is an amazing looking dinner you had there !! Great quilt to make, love your fabrics.
LOVE those fabrics. I'm a bird fanatic anyway. The flowers remind me of bottle brush trees. Loved those trees.
