Scrumptious Friends!

 

Back in 2013, my lovely NOTYQ friends gave me a bundle 

of the then newly released Scrumptious range 

by Bonnie and Camille for my 50th birthday. 

I admired it for a long time before deciding what to make with it.  

I finally decided on a hexagon quilt using half hexagon templates. 

I spent ages sorting out the layout. 

Then covid hit. Mum and I were in Port Douglas (Queensland) 

and raced back home before the borders closed and

self isolated for two weeks at her place.  

I got Noel to bring me my sewing machine 

and all my sewing stuff. Lucky I had everything 

together so it was easy for him to find.

I was so glad I had everything ready to start putting my 

quilt together as I had plenty of time to sew.

I got the top put together in five days. 

It would have taken longer at home as I would 

have had other "housey" things to do!

Later in the year when we were in lockdown again,

 I was on-line and found some meterage of

 one of the fabrics to use for backing. 

I was amazed as the range was 7 years old.

I finally got it quilted in between another 

lockdown and picked it up in June.

Tada! It's finally finished. 

I have called it "Scrumptious Friends".

I just love the colours.

  

It was actually finished it a few weeks ago 

but I've only just got around to taking photos.

I'm so happy with how this turned out.

There's still lots of the fabric left. 

Maybe one day I'll have a granddaughter 

and I'll make her a quilt with it.
