Hi Gals, I've finished the cot quilt for the moment. I'm seeing my quilter next week and she thinks she'll get it done pretty quickly.

Love this. It is different and shows your state's birds & animals. Lovely arrangement.

Thank you and that's right Patti, it's all our Australian flora and fauna. Love Chris

Nobody could tell! I love the colors you chose, unconventional but elegant.

Thanks so much, it's all Australian animals, birds etc. and our floral emblems of each state, so the colours reflect that. Love Chris

I agree with others that is beautiful. There is nothing not to like. Love how you arranged the blocks with print and solid.
As for your wing color being white instead of gray, perhaps it is a very rare Galah.

Thanks so much, I am pleased with it. Love Chris

Chris, this quilt is absolutely gorgeous. So much love has been put into the quilt. Do not worry about the wing of the Galah. Only God is perfect and I am sure that if He was the quality control inspector, He would give this work of the heart a HUGE stamp of approval.

Hi Coral, thanks so much for your kind words. I'm a firm believer in not making a perfect piece anyway, so in a way this mistake was meant to be! I hope you are doing ok. Love Chris

Lovely your Bird quilt. She will love it if not you can send it my way as I will love it as I'm a bird lover. Happy Stitching.

HI Karen, thanks for that, I do hope so. I've just got to make the quilt label on the back. I'm going to wait till the baby is born so I can put her vitals on the back. Love Chris

Your quilt is AWESOME. If the lack of grey wing, on the birdie, really bothers you, consider a bit of diluted fabric paint. I think it is beautiful.

Hi Sharon, thanks for your idea, but I'm just going to leave it and just put it down to my lack of concentration when doing that particular design. Love Chris

Beautiful job, Chris...and such a unique design for a baby cot quilt!

Hi Kim, yes, it's not a really 'cutesy' type cot quilt, but as she ages she'll know all the Aussie animals, birds and state floral emblems at least. Love Chris

What A Surprise it is going to be!!!So Stunning
