a traditional kind of Australian quilt made from whatever could be found, scraps of clothing or blankets, tailors samples, flour bags etc. Simple, rustic, functional..... you get the idea. Anyhow, a couple of months ago at the Waverley Patchworkers meeting, the club had been given a lot of wool/alpaca samples which were being handed out to anyone who wanted to make something from them. I've never been one to pass up free fabric. It was beautiful quality fabric but a bugger to sew. All soft and wiggly. Those who know me will be aware that I'm just a wee bit obssesive, compulsive, neat, precise, careful. I have trouble being messy. It took me years to even create something that wasn't symetrical. So as waggas go this is as rustic as I get! Not quite finished....still have to finish the binding.
