16 Year Aussie Quilt

I must admit that this fabric has been sitting in my stash for, well, 16 years. FINALLY, my buddy Cindy Phillips found the pattern, I copied it, and now my Aussie Quilt is almost done - after a wonderful four day quilting weekend with my dearest friends. It's not my finest, but there IS so much meaning packed into the cockatoos, lizards, parrots, wattle, Aboriginal art, fish, kangaroos, koalas, kookaburras, wombats, echidnas, and emus living on this fabric which was purchased during our two family trips to Australia!
