The flowers are Nerines and I picked this bunch and brought them back to Trevor's place, forgot to bring a vase ... duh!
The stack and slash I found while looking for something else :-))
Realised the reason it had become an abandoned project was because it had turned out long and skinny ... realised though that if I bordered it and finished it off it could be a door curtain for winter.
Used a batik for the border, now all of the fabrics used in the top are gone, gone ... hooray!
Question is what should I back it with?
The top will face outside so I need something to look at from the inside, therefore that rules black out.
So now this project has moved to be a ASP [already started project]
The tea for two is my starter block for my stay at home round robin.The design is a fusible called "Sue" from Lizard of Oz

For a WOO HOO - I made the shopping bags for L. - when I cut a bag out realised there was enough fabric for two bags!!
So now it is on with the packing ready to head to Perth.

If the quilt is intended for a winter door curtain perhaps you could back it with a coloured fleece blanket - they are really cheap here in the UK and would make a cozy finish.
Love the idea of turning your quilt into a curtain. As for the backing, either some fabric that you'll enjoy looking at or another quilt.

Nice colours, from your non-quilting sister. Ps I have absolutely no useful suggestions for a backing!
Those bags look great Sandy. What pattern are you using?
Thanks for the comments on backing the door curtain, still to absolutely decide what to put on the back - am leaning towards having this one as a winter/summer one with another as autumn/spring.
The shopping bags I have made are based on the online pattern from creative thimbles with some slight adaptions.
