Hmmmm!!! I'm not sure this photo does the fabrics justice? I sought out fabrics that would lend themselves to fussy-cutting but not really sure how to piece them together. Finally, I came up with this... I might have to upload another couple of photos so we can all see some of the great fabrics that are in it... These 2 shots are taken from the top and bottom, hopefully, they show more of the fabrics and techniques used. In between the fussy-cuts are rows comprising of half-squares, diamond-in-a-square, Arlington Braid and a row of 2" squares by 2 rows - just to add some variation to an otherwise plain quilt.

Marti stopped by to show us this quilt using the Australian Aboriginal prints that she made for her son, Phil, who lives in Australia. She used more of the fabrics to piece the back – makes the back as spectacular as the front!

Jean Baptiste Apuatimi, Tiwi Islands The exposure of Aboriginal art to the West had its inception at the aboriginal community of Papunya in the Western Desert of Central Australia. Just like the vivid wildflowers that fill the local ochre terrain in the middle of winter, their art was a rare juxtaposition adapted from the Australian landscape. Although the indigenous art was originally developed for body painting, bark & cave art and ceremonial ground paintings, once the Papunya artists were introduced to canvas and tube paints in the 60's, they quickly adapted to the new medium. Many of the key
