Down Under Quilts

Check out the latest edition of Down Under Quilts which is currently on sale issue #161.
 

This issue features one of Tamsin's quilts: Cantik. This quilt features the beautiful batik range Cantik Batiks which is available in Stores now. It's a great quilt that would look good in a range of fabrics.

 

The quilt was pieced together on my Bernina Aurora 440 and then quilted using the Bernina 830.
Variegated thread - Rainbows by Superior Thread was used for the quilting.
