I'm a member of the Australian quilting on-line group called Southern Cross Quilters (or Scquilters for short) and they have a retreat each year, held in a different part of the country. Last yeat (about this time) it was in Adelaide and I was supposed to go. Long story. Anyway, one of the activities they have for us is a 'siggie square' swap. Those that want to go make as many as needed - last year it was approx 70-80 (last year I don't remember back that far....). A dear friend Lee-Allan went and she got as many squares for me as she could, also had each person put their name and address on an envelope, so I could send mine back to them. A lot of work for Lee-Allan and much appreciated by me. Well, after putting them together in a reasonable way and quilting it I managed to finish the binding yesterday - Yay!!! Here is the finished result:
Sorry about the angle of the image, but I don't have a bigger wall to put it on and I have to take the photo from an angle in the doorway of the spare room. Anyway I'm happy with the results.

I love your siggie quilt Joy. Are you heading off this year? I've just been having a look at your organized sewing space. We are about to move so the nwxt 12 months will be 'put it where you can' but after than I will be once again organized as I have been up until now (all packed, moving 23 April but we are having a week in Bright after Easter as I figured I would need a much needed siesta time before setting up in a very ordinary with a capital O rental.

Great siggie quilt - well done another WIP to cross off the list. Cheers from the very very wet Far North.
Looks good Joy, shame you missed the retreat, hope to see you at another retreat!
