Our Group Quilt is Finished.

This is our group quilt all ready for our show in June.  Thirty-eight members of Roundabout Quilters did a block each and this is the finished product.  Isn't it wonderful?  Every one was given a basic outline, the backing, the fabric for the front and a piece of brown batik for the trunk and everybody was left to interpret their design as they wanted.  We used the quilt-as-you-go method so all we had to do was put the finished blocks together and hey presto a finished quilt!

You can win this quilt by coming to our show and buying a raffle ticket.  This is the star prize.


These pictures are to show some of the details.
