This was quite an easy finish because I'd made this top back in 2015. Although it's a very pretty quilt, it's not exactly my style for my home. So, I'm going to sell it.
The quilt measures 90" x 70" (229cm x 178cm). It's multi directional, so can fit long ways on a single bed, or across a queen sized bed like this, with substantial amounts hanging down each side:
Here's some closeup photos of some of the blocks. The main fabrics are from a range designed by Denyse Schmidt exclusively for Spotlight Australia / New Zealand. That's why I've called the quilt "Spotty", because Australians refer to Spotlight as Spotty.
The quilt has pure cotton batting. Here's a view of the back:
The quilting shows up really well on the back. I had it quilted on a long arm machine at Busy Bee Quilters Wellington, NZ with hot pink thread:
I intend to list this quilt on TradeMe next Wednesday 17 April. If you live in NZ, and are interested in buying it, you can send me an email before then, and we can discuss. I'll post the link to the TradeMe listing if it hasn't sold prior to Wednesday.
This sale is open to New Zealanders only. I am not willing to post this quilt overseas sorry.
Repeating the vital stats:
Size 90" x 70" (229cm x 178cm)
Cotton batting

Nice bright quilt. Hope you find the perfect buyer. Happy Stitching!
good luck on the buyer - totally understand you not wanted to deal with shipping anywhere out of New Zealand - it is a pain!
Very pretty colors!
I hope you sell your quilt. It is beautiful!
I wish you well at selling this lovely quilt. I've found that my quilts don't sell well here in the US. The few that I have sold have been priced ridiculously inexpensively. I'm fortunate if I can recoup my materials costs. I have a half dozen wall hangings that I've tried to sell, without success, so I'm sewing them up on three sides, filling them with fabric trimmings and batting, and giving them to a local pet shelter to be used as beds. Anyway, I admire that you went to so much work to make this pretty quilt.
Beautiful and bright quilt, I'm sure you will find a buyer
WOW! Such a fun and vibrant quilt! The colors of the fabric are fantastic!! Congrats of such a great finish!!!
This is a beautiful quilt, so bright and cheerful! Good luck with the sale.
Nice finish on such a colorful quilt. I hope it finds the perfect home.

I'm a huge fan of Denyse's work and aren't these fabrics vibrant and beautiful. Your quilt just glows. What a treat for someone to enjoy!
