Peaks {a finished quilt}

I'm so happy to have this quilt finished. I love everything about it. I took it to Taupo with me on my mini-break so that I could sew the binding on, and both my mother and sister tried hard to convince me to part with it.


I think it is the clean lines that I like the most - and the colours which are some of my most favourite. I had to get a bit creative on the back on account of my bad quilty maths, but I think the floral fabric adds an extra pop. 


The other lovely thing about this quilt (which I had completely forgotten) is that I originally started making it to enter in a competition. When I took it to Monday Modern, Helen - who had organised the competition - presented me with a pile of goodies. I felt very spoilt -


- especially when I found this treasure included - handmade by Helen. It's fabulous - thank you so much Helen!
