Last Finish for 2014

I started this project in October when staying with my parents for a few weeks on holidays. I used Mum's 25 year old Janome and it was super awesome, I was so impressed I upgraded to a Janome myself when my Viking blew up in December.

Comprising Umbrella Prints fabrics and Navy linen in a colour palette I am not used to using. I totally loved how the yellow and green popped against the black and navy contrast. I think I will be using these colour combinations more often.

After a little hand stitching to give some definition and add a new technique to this mini quilt. 

It was backed and bound in more Umbrella Prints fabrics. 

I just love these elephants!

And the sun was shining, which is great as the monsoon has now arrived, bringing much needed rain and cooler temperatures, but not so great for photographing completed projects!
