| 1. CHRISTMAS SURPRISE This quilt was made in a course, “Japanese Folded Patchwork” with Barbara Gower. The colours I chose were Autumn shades, which gave me a very interesting effect. The quilt name was easy with the way the green and red colours came through very strongly with the cream flowers. 122cm x 101cm |
