<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have used a denim blue coloured Eco-cotton by Annette Eriksson for this backpack.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Th5ce85ZbN8/XVkJp3zLEcI/AAAAAAAAMRI/P0JOAlPsVLMRDufxAhd8NtRSom3xCPV4ACLcBGAs/s1600/ss2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Th5ce85ZbN8/XVkJp3zLEcI/AAAAAAAAMRI/P0JOAlPsVLMRDufxAhd8NtRSom3xCPV4ACLcBGAs/s320/ss2.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I dug into my stash of Timeless Treasures "sketch" style fabrics to use as the feature print for each animal which was mainly for the ears.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WN1epCGiiiU/XVkL0N7R4lI/AAAAAAAAMR0/SjtyidJT6N0Ix17IEkqA3JopFC_xiGLWgCLcBGAs/s1600/ss1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WN1epCGiiiU/XVkL0N7R4lI/AAAAAAAAMR0/SjtyidJT6N0Ix17IEkqA3JopFC_xiGLWgCLcBGAs/s320/ss1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And I also modified the original pattern slightly to make the quilt wider (90 x 73") so it goes across the bed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gJPJY-6c3Fo/XVkJr_MybaI/AAAAAAAAMRQ/m3Az5ERk6MYGIXY6L2oNFk7gFVKBOdXFgCLcBGAs/s1600/ss3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gJPJY-6c3Fo/XVkJr_MybaI/AAAAAAAAMRQ/m3Az5ERk6MYGIXY6L2oNFk7gFVKBOdXFgCLcBGAs/s320/ss3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being so large, I had this long-arm quilted at my LQS <a href="https://rainbowpatchwork.com.au/">Rainbow Patchwork</a> in the Exotic Vine design</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">which I think was just perfect for this quilt.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kmtNEJL4oAQ/XVkJnjDsmRI/AAAAAAAAMRE/cETrYbSBR-4pC3cN5JCpnupwQgj1gWYewCLcBGAs/s1600/ss1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kmtNEJL4oAQ/XVkJnjDsmRI/AAAAAAAAMRE/cETrYbSBR-4pC3cN5JCpnupwQgj1gWYewCLcBGAs/s320/ss1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We were fortunate to actually see all of these animals whilst on Safari but the elephant was definitely my favourite. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WeTtb3Qkn8o/XVkJtY0B49I/AAAAAAAAMRY/kBQQpc5gNjQ4cTSbXGzIh2aWQkOZDUoWACLcBGAs/s1600/ss6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WeTtb3Qkn8o/XVkJtY0B49I/AAAAAAAAMRY/kBQQpc5gNjQ4cTSbXGzIh2aWQkOZDUoWACLcBGAs/s320/ss6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The backing is the Leaf in grey from Ellas backings which I also used in the Lion pillow for my mum. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And most importantly, the quilt was kitty approved by Peach!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My mums birthday is in August and her starsign is Leo so I thought the Lion from the Spectacular Savanna quilt by Elizabeth Hartman would make a great gift for her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1myZdaVNXZ4/XVkGJZhXuOI/AAAAAAAAMQo/uNkz6OyyeuAu4teh0_KdeSjiWDLGD9EgwCLcBGAs/s1600/lion6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1myZdaVNXZ4/XVkGJZhXuOI/AAAAAAAAMQo/uNkz6OyyeuAu4teh0_KdeSjiWDLGD9EgwCLcBGAs/s320/lion6.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Spectacular Savanna pattern provides not only the main quilt pattern but lots of other options, including ideas for pillows or smaller quilts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2--zbWUsbo/XVkGHr_T00I/AAAAAAAAMQg/f-SGZyWEuf4qAXPeGmik-7Wte8prSmUWACLcBGAs/s1600/lion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y2--zbWUsbo/XVkGHr_T00I/AAAAAAAAMQg/f-SGZyWEuf4qAXPeGmik-7Wte8prSmUWACLcBGAs/s1600/lion.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Elizabeth Hartman has used Essex linens in her pattern so although most of this lion is quilting cotton, I used some linen in flax for his nose and ears.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6yn0QtGDLs/XVkGGNbtUTI/AAAAAAAAMQY/vdf6r1eMjAUhseMI4QRTdkQndk_SD-0QgCLcBGAs/s1600/lion3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-G6yn0QtGDLs/XVkGGNbtUTI/AAAAAAAAMQY/vdf6r1eMjAUhseMI4QRTdkQndk_SD-0QgCLcBGAs/s320/lion3.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I quilted this pillow with a cross-hatch design which gives it is nice texture.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2EzX_-ki7JM/XVkGHJ5LqRI/AAAAAAAAMQc/XNsDTZY7aPIezqKwzOaV7xy4HLkr3UljACLcBGAs/s1600/lion5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2EzX_-ki7JM/XVkGHJ5LqRI/AAAAAAAAMQc/XNsDTZY7aPIezqKwzOaV7xy4HLkr3UljACLcBGAs/s320/lion5.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And the back of the pillow is the gum leaf print from one of Emma Jean Jansens wide-quilt backings which was left over from my <a href="http://gemini-stitches.blogspot.com/2018/02/fabled-quilt.html">"Fabled</a>" quilt.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Another baby blanket I have had on my hook is a pearly white one which is so soft and snuggly.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_fk-hFGk7Ho/XR8ASkdE9BI/AAAAAAAAMO0/2-3s5lj9Rb03KhOot4tNI5eIKcACcVXWQCLcBGAs/s1600/baby5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_fk-hFGk7Ho/XR8ASkdE9BI/AAAAAAAAMO0/2-3s5lj9Rb03KhOot4tNI5eIKcACcVXWQCLcBGAs/s320/baby5.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once again I did a simple corner-to-corner (C2C) crochet which worked up well in this yarn.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-naCZceqTC0g/XQX8Gk7_MaI/AAAAAAAAMMw/EQpi6mHsgm0YhcE10cXwmpUrJ-wCnwocgCLcBGAs/s1600/baby1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-naCZceqTC0g/XQX8Gk7_MaI/AAAAAAAAMMw/EQpi6mHsgm0YhcE10cXwmpUrJ-wCnwocgCLcBGAs/s1600/baby1.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The texture of this crochet is lovely no matter what side of the blanket you look at.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YlHorEahCOU/XR8APeIX9vI/AAAAAAAAMOo/74-NKQOyLws95NWLWeM6mqJbV3Wo1b52wCLcBGAs/s1600/baby2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YlHorEahCOU/XR8APeIX9vI/AAAAAAAAMOo/74-NKQOyLws95NWLWeM6mqJbV3Wo1b52wCLcBGAs/s320/baby2.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To finish, I did a simple border of 4 rows of single crochet around the edge.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n3WwszK8nl0/XR8AU-B1cTI/AAAAAAAAMO8/2ttBgQuzil4cs4mEBxCYHDl91hSlnsytACLcBGAs/s1600/baby7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n3WwszK8nl0/XR8AU-B1cTI/AAAAAAAAMO8/2ttBgQuzil4cs4mEBxCYHDl91hSlnsytACLcBGAs/s320/baby7.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is hard to photograph but this yarn has little flecks of colour through it - lemon yellow, peach and pale pink which are so pretty!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jNj65DSYv2s/XR8ARuPjDXI/AAAAAAAAMOw/_ry_BaVl_SQSe8j7nzKsTo0FjmUh0xSrwCLcBGAs/s1600/baby4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jNj65DSYv2s/XR8ARuPjDXI/AAAAAAAAMOw/_ry_BaVl_SQSe8j7nzKsTo0FjmUh0xSrwCLcBGAs/s320/baby4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This blanket finished at 30"/75 cm square so is a nice size for a newborn or pram/stroller.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Gypsy Wife quilt has been on my "to-do" list for some time now and I have finally finished mine!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nhd3K9D1C7U/XQX1E7sJQqI/AAAAAAAAMME/S14NSh0a8YUkeEhVs7D062HFcfA88YA2QCLcBGAs/s1600/gw6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nhd3K9D1C7U/XQX1E7sJQqI/AAAAAAAAMME/S14NSh0a8YUkeEhVs7D062HFcfA88YA2QCLcBGAs/s320/gw6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I loved the Bonnie and Camille version of the quilt which was made by @jennfortuna (twinfibers) a few years ago so dug into my B&C stash for the fabrics.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BHiY3WHiUDs/XQX0_Ivq6-I/AAAAAAAAML4/zLoSLzvHK1QXl5K2pIb3np9GaFOrzMXowCLcBGAs/s1600/gw2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BHiY3WHiUDs/XQX0_Ivq6-I/AAAAAAAAML4/zLoSLzvHK1QXl5K2pIb3np9GaFOrzMXowCLcBGAs/s1600/gw2.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There have been a few Gypsy Wife "quilt-alongs" over the years and I was extremely grateful for the resources from all of them, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">especially the fabulous strip cutting guide by </span><a href="http://hydeeannsews.blogspot.com/2016/02/gypsy-wife-strips.html" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hydeeannsews.</a></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I decided to quilt it myself using the serpentine stitch as I could easily follow along the seams of the strips.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The back of the quilt is one of my favourites also - the Britten Nummers quilt from Ikea which I thought was quite appropriate for the numbers of blocks required for this quilt:)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is a free pattern over on the Robert Kaufman site <a href="http://www.robertkaufman.com/quilting/quilts_patterns/nessie/">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I quilted this one myself using the Serpentine stitch on my sewing machine - really quick and easy to do and it gives such great texture!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The back is pieced from a few large fabric pieces and I couldn't resist using a very special Tula Pink print from her new Pinkerville range.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> There are a few different creatures in the "Blind Faith" print including a unicorn, swan and of course a lovely Loch Ness Monster. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A friend of mine is due to have her baby girl very soon and I wanted to make a gift for her so after finding this lovely pastel yarn, decided on a baby blanket.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2V-qGv-UdHA/XQXvhZjag9I/AAAAAAAAMKs/GpB4Hf4UTAcfq2GfZ-0ZUXP16an-j6-VQCLcBGAs/s1600/abbey5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2V-qGv-UdHA/XQXvhZjag9I/AAAAAAAAMKs/GpB4Hf4UTAcfq2GfZ-0ZUXP16an-j6-VQCLcBGAs/s320/abbey5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I did the corner-to-corner pattern again as it is quick and easy to do once you get started.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-75kIYJLh13s/XQX1LRIy6QI/AAAAAAAAMMM/IDaAl0qjuSkzRCVKLY9WCdR73-voiCiGgCLcBGAs/s1600/pastel%2Bbaby1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-75kIYJLh13s/XQX1LRIy6QI/AAAAAAAAMMM/IDaAl0qjuSkzRCVKLY9WCdR73-voiCiGgCLcBGAs/s1600/pastel%2Bbaby1.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This yarn is so lovely and soft and the colours are really pretty.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wBhqXLwZ3IQ/XQXvfcwU-wI/AAAAAAAAMKg/AhM_1Xfaj6EBw7E4i7002IMwPmTkjVgAwCLcBGAs/s1600/abbey1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wBhqXLwZ3IQ/XQXvfcwU-wI/AAAAAAAAMKg/AhM_1Xfaj6EBw7E4i7002IMwPmTkjVgAwCLcBGAs/s320/abbey1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When the colours come through in these variegated yarns they look so nice - and there is a bonus of no ends to weave in!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lA8wWWrc0-k/XQXvfOKQ8EI/AAAAAAAAMKc/hcesA5cmpYEM-rjebHPP1zbqMXuOCpe9gCLcBGAs/s1600/abbey2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lA8wWWrc0-k/XQXvfOKQ8EI/AAAAAAAAMKc/hcesA5cmpYEM-rjebHPP1zbqMXuOCpe9gCLcBGAs/s320/abbey2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then just a simple single crochet around the edge.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iYqh8nOrk7w/XQXvg6IhjNI/AAAAAAAAMKo/IPxCjaOkRkEoOLViGKvAhueGh4I0WHvtgCLcBGAs/s1600/abbey4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iYqh8nOrk7w/XQXvg6IhjNI/AAAAAAAAMKo/IPxCjaOkRkEoOLViGKvAhueGh4I0WHvtgCLcBGAs/s320/abbey4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There was enough yarn remaining for a baby bonnet which was very kindly made by @gatheredcreations.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jemina Flendt of Tied with a Ribbon patterns recently hosted a quiltalong to make the Endgame quilt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I chose to sew the mini quilt version of the pattern which I could make into a pillow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g1RWdpya524/XNlCE1o99AI/AAAAAAAAMKM/xxrZ_2GAv9cCXljMZ3kELFaR-kokD4BKQCLcBGAs/s1600/endgame7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g1RWdpya524/XNlCE1o99AI/AAAAAAAAMKM/xxrZ_2GAv9cCXljMZ3kELFaR-kokD4BKQCLcBGAs/s1600/endgame7.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used a variety of Tula Pink fabrics, mainly Zuma leftover from the </span><a href="https://gemini-stitches.blogspot.com/2019/04/tula-pink-anchors-aweigh-zuma-quilt.html" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Anchors Aweigh</a><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> quilt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z8_2ytbH10w/XM5ut5G01QI/AAAAAAAAMJc/DIKOmIXoVIoVv_m3Sk1JRUEedrfN10T-wCLcBGAs/s1600/endgame.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z8_2ytbH10w/XM5ut5G01QI/AAAAAAAAMJc/DIKOmIXoVIoVv_m3Sk1JRUEedrfN10T-wCLcBGAs/s320/endgame.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The pattern was fairly easy to sew although some of those pesky points just didn't want to meet up!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Z8_2ytbH10w/XM5ut5G01QI/AAAAAAAAMJc/DIKOmIXoVIoVv_m3Sk1JRUEedrfN10T-wCLcBGAs/s1600/endgame.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BGcRKM22qWA/XM5uGnPMMeI/AAAAAAAAMJU/5WrR6Hicf-wOJ0zGxp-I3Zg8Oiq6QpbVACLcBGAs/s1600/endgame2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BGcRKM22qWA/XM5uGnPMMeI/AAAAAAAAMJU/5WrR6Hicf-wOJ0zGxp-I3Zg8Oiq6QpbVACLcBGAs/s320/endgame2.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The quilting was quite simple just following the lines of the triangles.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zB6UAp32A0s/XM5vffB2YkI/AAAAAAAAMJ0/1unZSgUlHJM_U-OvEcB2D461VKosMGbAwCLcBGAs/s1600/endgame5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zB6UAp32A0s/XM5vffB2YkI/AAAAAAAAMJ0/1unZSgUlHJM_U-OvEcB2D461VKosMGbAwCLcBGAs/s320/endgame5.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The pillow is bound in aqua to match many of the fabrics that were used in it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-321CG9GKzIY/XKHV5ZBNP-I/AAAAAAAAMHk/m8-uD0sR48UZWpMefP3Ex21SI1LRDayawCLcBGAs/s1600/GW1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-321CG9GKzIY/XKHV5ZBNP-I/AAAAAAAAMHk/m8-uD0sR48UZWpMefP3Ex21SI1LRDayawCLcBGAs/s320/GW1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. Gypsy Wife quilt: Most of the blocks are now made for this quilt so just need to put it all together and hopefully even get it quilted!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have been an Outlander fan for over 20 years now as I first started reading the books when I was pregnant with our twin boys, so I couldn't resist buying some of the fabric range by Andover when it was released a few years ago.</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6I0UdwWPHz0/XJnbcyrrvqI/AAAAAAAAMFk/1r2EVXpJ0Ogbm40oGRq3W6wAGB6G7iYVQCLcBGAs/s1600/outlander6e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6I0UdwWPHz0/XJnbcyrrvqI/AAAAAAAAMFk/1r2EVXpJ0Ogbm40oGRq3W6wAGB6G7iYVQCLcBGAs/s320/outlander6e.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I bought the "Outlander Stones" panel along with a few half yards of the coordinating prints.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xsmbq0gmBNM/XJcuC9m0xvI/AAAAAAAAMD4/OCo9Ojx6dUkJ21f3Bf4Y2ZnlxII-R_leACLcBGAs/s1600/outlander1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xsmbq0gmBNM/XJcuC9m0xvI/AAAAAAAAMD4/OCo9Ojx6dUkJ21f3Bf4Y2ZnlxII-R_leACLcBGAs/s1600/outlander1.jpg" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the first time I have used a panel for a quilt so I started by looking online for some ideas on using them as quite a few of the fabric manufacturers have free patterns available using their panels.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M8r3rZVnpoc/XJc0a9D6QMI/AAAAAAAAMEU/mos0pmcAoqogNpuOMa3tBuVjIvtl92hGgCLcBGAs/s1600/outlander3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-M8r3rZVnpoc/XJc0a9D6QMI/AAAAAAAAMEU/mos0pmcAoqogNpuOMa3tBuVjIvtl92hGgCLcBGAs/s320/outlander3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My initial plan was to include a few of the Thistles by Elizabeth Hartman so made 4 of them to go along the sides of the 25 x 40" ish panel.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ooPC3GIdK3o/XJnbbMErrFI/AAAAAAAAMFg/r-y-bZUjoN0vi-GDxo0vDgvSDs3cyOJpgCLcBGAs/s1600/outlander2e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ooPC3GIdK3o/XJnbbMErrFI/AAAAAAAAMFg/r-y-bZUjoN0vi-GDxo0vDgvSDs3cyOJpgCLcBGAs/s320/outlander2e.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And then used the crest fabrics to make a kind of piano key border along the top and bottom of the panel, with the main grey print for corners.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kE769s5VNWo/XJnbgAAoGNI/AAAAAAAAMFs/MAHtAvhYmVcp0gi2QOQTyvbc8iWyQ2LSgCLcBGAs/s1600/outlander7e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kE769s5VNWo/XJnbgAAoGNI/AAAAAAAAMFs/MAHtAvhYmVcp0gi2QOQTyvbc8iWyQ2LSgCLcBGAs/s320/outlander7e.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The green border was added after I calculated that I still had enough of it for the backing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0qILZNy6M_I/XJc0bw7lJMI/AAAAAAAAMEY/JBQwFtYb_dszK35COn2Qg2PDQiqm5JizwCLcBGAs/s1600/outlander4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0qILZNy6M_I/XJc0bw7lJMI/AAAAAAAAMEY/JBQwFtYb_dszK35COn2Qg2PDQiqm5JizwCLcBGAs/s320/outlander4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The quilt was longarmed at my LQS in a lovely swirly design.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-246iX31eIO4/XJnbe0d4UPI/AAAAAAAAMFo/Azmw0Uk_5Q8Ybc3tkvIAOp6XwEkFQLK1gCLcBGAs/s1600/outlander5a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-246iX31eIO4/XJnbe0d4UPI/AAAAAAAAMFo/Azmw0Uk_5Q8Ybc3tkvIAOp6XwEkFQLK1gCLcBGAs/s320/outlander5a.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">After quilting, I bound it in an olive green solid.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Can't wait to cuddle up on the couch with this quilt and read the 9th book in the Outlander series when it is released later this year...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tula Pink's Anchors Aweigh quilt pattern has been around for a little while now and when she recoloured it using the new Zuma fabrics I decided to make it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S3KfYvVo0y0/XJcmAQwHVHI/AAAAAAAAMDU/SKkG11JDNI8gZGLPY5gvvBWJp8YM2R9mACLcBGAs/s1600/anchor6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S3KfYvVo0y0/XJcmAQwHVHI/AAAAAAAAMDU/SKkG11JDNI8gZGLPY5gvvBWJp8YM2R9mACLcBGAs/s320/anchor6.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used the Aquamarine colourway along with a deep navy blue for the background.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e9Mkmw9CL8U/XCauSjOZYLI/AAAAAAAAL_k/qVoWs6xaCEwWMa5Zl0tDq32gg0AzQiTvACLcBGAs/s1600/anchor1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-e9Mkmw9CL8U/XCauSjOZYLI/AAAAAAAAL_k/qVoWs6xaCEwWMa5Zl0tDq32gg0AzQiTvACLcBGAs/s320/anchor1.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There are about 660 little 2 inch squares in this pattern but it is broken down into sections so it wasnt too hard to keep track.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mKzxg2RlZ1w/XCauSsFMr1I/AAAAAAAAL_s/CJPXllHmfeURZPgvEF34hOCZmsqqC3kbACLcBGAs/s1600/anchor3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mKzxg2RlZ1w/XCauSsFMr1I/AAAAAAAAL_s/CJPXllHmfeURZPgvEF34hOCZmsqqC3kbACLcBGAs/s320/anchor3.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think the secret to doing so many small squares like this is to sew in rows, press alternate rows left or right and then nest seams as most of mine turned out ok by doing this.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YtRIurx3dbQ/XCayndnVwUI/AAAAAAAAMAM/hhdkF3Eebvc-SS_vBvRgBNFVOsUBv9K5gCLcBGAs/s1600/anchor6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YtRIurx3dbQ/XCayndnVwUI/AAAAAAAAMAM/hhdkF3Eebvc-SS_vBvRgBNFVOsUBv9K5gCLcBGAs/s320/anchor6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It was quite hard to cut into these gorgeous fabrics as the squares are so small but the effect is amazing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RFUNKMdmZwM/XCayozWrjcI/AAAAAAAAMAU/npqOu8AL5hs6kmqI8GMbbz0BCFRVNsQcQCLcBGAs/s1600/anchor9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="960" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RFUNKMdmZwM/XCayozWrjcI/AAAAAAAAMAU/npqOu8AL5hs6kmqI8GMbbz0BCFRVNsQcQCLcBGAs/s320/anchor9.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I used the Skipping Stones quilt pattern and only made 4 blocks - although in hindsight I should have made 6 blocks to make the quilts larger as babies grow so fast!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As I only had a jelly roll, I have used some coordinating solids to break up the prints.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The fabric is so cute though with birch trees and bears a</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">nd also some Moose for these little Canadian baby boys!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. Skipping Stones baby quilt #1: I used a jelly roll of the very cute Big Sky fabric to make this smaller version of the Stepping Stones quilt so it just needs to be quilted and bound.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VSOXBhzFeos/W-Z4yx6xOCI/AAAAAAAAL6w/2QnXQmJiSFoT4mwqNRC84pD4wfNPT9CMQCLcBGAs/s1600/Kirsten%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="934" data-original-width="932" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VSOXBhzFeos/W-Z4yx6xOCI/AAAAAAAAL6w/2QnXQmJiSFoT4mwqNRC84pD4wfNPT9CMQCLcBGAs/s320/Kirsten%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="319" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the Swoon 16 block which finishes at 16" so it is a great size for a pillow.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The background fabric is a deep navy which I really love with the bright Zuma prints, and those amazing pops of neon.</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I quilted it in a cross hatch pattern using a thread in a lovely shade of purplish-blue which is similar to the Tula Pink solid in Diva. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of my favourite books is "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon and it has now been made into a TV series - it is set in Scotland and the main character Claire wears some beautiful knitwear.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a few balls of this Lionbrand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn in the Lemongrass colour and wanted to make an "Outlander" inspired cowl.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I just did a corner to corner (C2C) crochet which shows off the lovely colours.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Hue yarn is nice and soft to use and as it contains 30% wool makes quite a warm cowl.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My brother turned 50 recently so I decided to make him a quilt for his birthday as he is the only one from my family who doesn't have a quilt made by me yet! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used the <a href="https://cindimccracken.myshopify.com/products/skipping-stones">Skipping Stones</a> pattern by Cindi McCracken which is the same one that I used for my <a href="http://gemini-stitches.blogspot.com/2016/09/skipping-stones-ocean-and-earth-quilts.html">twin sons 18th birthdays</a> a few years ago as I think it is a great quilt pattern for a guy!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This time I used solids for the main part of the blocks with prints from numerous <a href="http://freespiritfabric.blogspot.com/2012/02/mr-february-parson-gray.html">Parson Gray</a> fabric ranges for the smaller squares through the middle of each block.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The name of the quilt came from the two main fabric ranges from Parson Gray that I used for the blocks - Curious Nature and Seven Wonders.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This quilt was longarm quilted at my LQS "Rainbow Patchwork" and Karen used the Fern Gully pantograph which is one of my favourites.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This quilt finished at about 66 x 66" which is a nice size for a bed or just as a lap quilt.</span></div>
