"Land Of Oz" quilt

After trimming 150 HST's and quilting countless straight lines down this quilt, I have finished stitching the binding down on this quilt just in time to take a few photos whilst the sun is shining.

This quilt is named "Land of Oz": a reference to the Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz, and also for the green and gold that are Australias national colours.

I used a selection of emerald/green prints and solids for this quilt, along with splashes of yellow which as one reader noted, are also suggestive of the Yellow Brick Road - more info on the fabric choices here too. 

I quilted this in straightish lines that are about 1/3 inch apart using a variegated green Gutermann thread which has shades of green from a light minty green to a darker colour.

After washing, it has crinkled up quite nicely due to the dense quilting and is still very soft.

And most importantly, my kitty loves it too:)
