Our own bed quilt

I feel like we've been neglected. I have made quilts for many others - Mom and Dad, Leah, Aaron, numerous nieces and nephews.... Now finally we have our own quilt!!

I made it out of fabrics from Bali. Exactly a year ago I went on a fibre arts tour of Bali. While I was there I bought over 50 meters of Bali batiks. It was from these fabrics that I constructed our quilt using a pattern called Magic Squares.

I quilted it using a flower motif that was printed on the background green fabric. I also constructed Celtic knot corners. As it seemed so precious I purchased a special silk batting for quilting it. Now it is completed!! What do you think?
