The Amelia Challenge Quilt sneak peak

I have been on my annual holiday, returning last Tuesday, and the last five days have flown past quicker than when I was away, yet I don't seem to have done as much. However, I have been working on my Amelia Challenge Quilt, pictured here, finished five minutes ago. Of course it still needs to be quilted and then I think it will be even more beautiful. It has a special name but you will have to wait until the book The Amelia Challenge Quilt comes out to find out what that is, and why. Meanwhile, I thought you might like a sneak peak.

My own Amelia Challenge

The Amelia Challenge Quilt will be the 4th book in the Australian Challenge Quilt Series and I now have to admit to myself that I am struggling with my own Amelia challenge quilt. The design had 13 blocks with the redwork pattern you see in the photo and I have just finished number 10. I thought I was up to number 11 but alas, there are 3 still to do. Yesterday I decided I would have this quilt finished by the weekend in readiness for my trip to Adelaide to talk to some quilt groups there. Now I know my challenge will be mightier than originally thought. The blocks each take about 7 hours to do.
Deep breath. Here goes ...!
