Competition Entry by Babara Finch
This Quilt was made by Babara from Victoria and called "Simply All Australian Rules"
"I found using these rulers so helpful, for the beginner to know how accurate you now can get your blocks, without recutting to resize them to fit the quilt. the more you use them the better you become.
Thanks Leonie"

Competition Entry by Colleen J
This Quilt was made by Colleen from Western Australia and called "The Purple Patch"
Perth Sewing Centre was Colleen's participating shop, tutor Janet Collins
"I really enjoyed the challenge in making this quilt. I have made a few qiults for my family and have never entered a competition before.
My quilt used about 32 fabrics out of my purple stash. The light fabric in the log cabin block are pieces I painted myself. I substituted a 'Spinning Puzzler' for the Angel Block.
This was a happy experience for me and I found the Ruler, Triangles and Templates easy to use."

Competition Entry by Krys Townsend
This Quilt was made by Krys Townsend from New South Wales.
Armadale Bargain Fabrics is Krys's participating shop.
"My Westalee sampler quilt was made of fabrics from my “stash” so I could buy the odd template! To get a little more practice I made 2 of most blocks, sometimes mixing the co-ordinated colours. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of picking colours and trying to co-ordinate them, I’d then make four block designs in the combination most of the time it worked, sometimes, well you can’t win them all. The only fabric I bought was the red/white stripe for the border. "
"This was a challenge in itself. What would go with all those colours? So I took a punt-I like the outcome."
