First up was a lovely quilt by Bep, called Fantasy with magic 9 patch. She had it quilted by John Nielson and she was busy stitching the binding down at club day.

This is another by Bep and is made with Batiks. She saw something similar years ago in Taupo but made her version smaller.

A scrappy quilt by Lesley McFarlane. It is made with scraps cut into 4.5 blocks. It was an idea from Griet Lombard. Lesley said that her scrap drawer is still full. I think we can all say that...
