After maybe 10 months, I've finished my version of the Butterfly Collector by Lynette Anderson Designs. I had a few moments of doubt that I had used too many fabrics and colours, but well, I like a scrappy look.It looks a bit wonky in the pic. It's so windy and smoky outside due to a fire at Ballarat's drought affected Lake Wendouree that I pinned it onto Ayden's pinboard. The quilt is way too big for the pinboard and there are lots of pics of racing cars under the quilt top. Ahhh, teenage boys.
Hopefully I will be able to take a better pic when it is quilted and bound. I have no idea how to quilt it though!

It's just gorgeous, Rachel; you can never have too many patterns/colours in a scrappy quilt. I live pretty close to the fire(at Lake Gardens) and haven't smelt the smoke all day; it has all been blowing your way!
