In case you've forgotten, back in April Anna Maria Horner asked if I would like to make this quilt to help promote her upcoming tour of New Zealand.
I jumped at the chance, and I've really enjoyed working with the gorgeous fabrics that make up the Conservatory Chapter 2 range.
You can read my earlier posts about making this quilt here:
unwrapping the fabrics
fussy cutting the fabrics
piecing the blocks

| I used another Anna Maria Horner print on the back |
When it was finished I decided that I really did need to block it to ensure it was square. I washed it in cold water, and then pinned it out on these play mats that I keep especially for this purpose.
When it dried it was perfectly square.
Finished size: 66" x 85"
I love the finished quilt, and I am so thrilled that Anna Maria Horner invited me to make it and share my experiences on my blog.
