Group project

Chooky emailed everyone going to Baradine about a kind of braid quilt she was making. Several of us bought the necessary rulers and we began on the weekend



Our first look at Chooky's braid. A small piece of fabric is attached to each braid before sewing together, to create the zig zag look.



Here is Raewyns, and then they multiplied





Mine and Raewyns together. Two ladies made table runners with their jelly rolls. Once you sew all the pieces together, you trim the ends, measure the whole length , divide it by 5, sew in sashings and a border and you have a quilt. How good is that ? I have just finished sewing all the pieces together, I hope to get back to it this weekend.
My phone battery is nearly flat so I had better finish up.
Happy stitching.
