Look what I got in the post today - isn't this great? Now I realise some of you probably aren't as crazy about brown as I am, but even so I'm sure you'll admit this is a lovely piece - I've tried to show some of the quilting detail as well. The brown leaf quilt was made by Liliane, who was my partner for the Four Seasons Quilt Swap 5 (Monochromatic). Yes, I know, I'm a lucky person!
Today I put the border on the Contrary Wife quilt, and pieced the backing (the yellow stripe you see beneath the top in this photo). Now it needs to be pinned (perhaps tomorrow) and quilted (Easter Holidays). I also made several blocks for the April block lotto - but it's still in sneak peek stage until tomorrow, so I won't show them yet.
And tonight, I sewed down the binding on a couple of small pieces (and Olivia's teddy bear quilt, which is upstairs with the teddy bear), which I can now hang up somewhere. Where is the question, as wall space is something we're a bit short of around here most of the time - needless to say, I have already found a home for Lil's quilt.

Contrary Wife is so bright and happy! Quite a contrast to the briwn quilt but I think the brown quilt is excellent!
The brown leaf quilt is amazing. Just love it. I meant to say before that the name Contrary Wife is so funny.
The brown leaf is wonderful!
I love these. I've never seen one like the brown leaf quilt that uses the patterned fabric as the background for a solid!
Everything is so wonderful, I loved these pictures. I hope one day can do something like this, but it's too early for me. I am just in the basics.
Your contrary wife is coming along beautifully!
