Champagne.............

Remember I made this quilt at Nundle.............the post is here with all the details...........Miss B did a fantastic job on the quilting and also I used her binding fairy as I was pressed for time to get the binding sewn on and stitched down in time for my brothers birthday..............thanks so much...........it was wonderful to pull it out of the package completely finished............
if I can get Fairy Girl out of the road I may get some pics............she is a hoot when she gets hold of the camera............never quite know what your going to get...........sometimes I can't even work out what i am looking at she takes such odd interesting things...........(oh and Julie we had a self portrait session yesterday and it was so funny...........sorry i won't be sharing any here...........lol)
(a)
my favourite place on the farm is down the (very rarely running) creek
(b)
the trees are amazing down there.............
(c)
one of these will become a card.............
(d)
which one is your favourite.............I have (a-f) underneath them...........
(e)
and I really liked this one rolled up...............
(f)
I can't decide which one is my favourite..........let me know what you think........
hope you had a great weekend..............I did.............
Take Care til next time...............

Hmm...I like picture C I think. Any one of them would be nice though. Your brother will be thrilled!

Julie said...

I just adore this quilt. I think my fave pic is "c". What a great tree to photograph it on too. Matches perfect. I'm dying to see one of your self portraits.....its not easy is it.

Hi, You take some lovely pics....e is my favourite! Lisa

Kate said...

Lovely quilt - I think a or e.

Kaaren said...

I like D because it looks like a gust of wind caught it which adds movement to the to the photo.

But having said that, there's not a bad one one in the lot!

Nancy Near Philadelphia said...

Great photos; great quilt; great KID!

Lorraine said...

I can't make up my mind...I think C but really like D as well.....i loved this quilt when you first showed it on your blog.....the colours are perfect and it looks right at home with the trees!

Unknown said...

I think e or even f. It is beautiful, I love the colours.

Cathy @ CabbageQuilts said...

Oh I love them all, but for a card maybe B with the long grasses in front, or C where the quilt looks very at home among the gum trees. E is a bit too dappled sun but F looks lovely all rolled up!! Sorry, not much help am I? A very beautiful quilt xo

Jeanette said...

I love 'c'. The photo seems to pick up the lovely colours in the quilt. Hugs, Jeanette

Annie said...

I like d or e for the card . . . or f if you prefer. It's a great boy quilt up a tree.

Lauren The Artist said...

A is my favorite composition. The quilt against the tress is just lovely.

Abby and Stephanie said...

Warm and snuggily looking. Very nice. My favorite photo is the back side of Fairy Girl photographing your quilt.

loulee said...

Out of A - F I pick D, but my fave out of the lot is the one with Fairy girls back. :-)

Terry said...

Lovely quilt! I pick D. But they're all beautiful! :0)

Lynn said...

a - the sunlight in this picture shows the quilt off nicely

Lurline said...

'c' for me!
Hugs - Lurline♥

Miriam said...

I like "C" the best. I love the way the fabric is draped and flowing down the tree.

Ruth B said...

a, b or c...or my fav the one with the little cutie pie in it!

OzRose said...

I like pic C the best I think - but then they are all nice ! Love how well the quilt blends with the trees :)

Love the quilt! Great pictures! My fav are d and f.

LeKaQuilt said...

I realy love the colours in this quiilt - and the pattern :o) It's wounderful!

Carol said...

D does it for me but it would be sooooo much lovelier with little miss Fairy in it also :)

Willow Grove - Kez said...

Im for the C pic too. Love the landscape.

Ali Honey said...

I like B and F, but what about using the one with Fairy Girl in it that's lovely.

What type of gum tree? or is it a willow. I couldn't reach the lower branches of any of our gums( eucalytus saligna )they are so tall and mostly straight.

That's a great place to display and photograph a lovely quilt.

Cardygirl said...

I like a,c,f...quilt looks great!

simplestitches said...

Beautiful pics....I think C is my fav with the grass stalks blowing gently across the bottom of the photo.
The quilt is just gorgeous....love those colours.

Sylvia said...

I am very partial to the rolled up version f, though they all look good.I think c would be my second choice. Wish I had a binding fairy!

Peg - Happy In Quilting said...

Chooky....wow...the quilt is just gorgeous...all photos are great...can't decide between a, b or c....

Leanne said...

I like F and if you crop that very thin tree to the left forefront out of E I like that one. What a great place for a photo shoot.

Deb said...

I do love this quilt. Yep I like "f" also

sarah said...

Love the quilt, I'd have a hard time picking too but c does look a lot like the tree has its own cuddly blanki

Narelle said...

Well my choice would be a and e. I have a non running gully until the rain and your photo's reminded me of it. Just love the photo's.

Kim said...

Every time I stop by to see you I find something pretty in your wonderful photos...gorgeous quilt! I am no help, I love all!

Trudi said...

Lovely quilt- what a lucky brother! B or E would be my choice for a card- I like the grass waving in the breeze.

Kylie said...

I Just love this quilt - especially the border fabric. I have the same fabric to make a quilt but a different pattern and after seeing yours a can't wait to start it.

dutchcomfort said...

The quilt is gorgeous!

d and f are may favourite pictures!

Deb said...

I like "C" cause it looks like the tree throw the quilt over its shoulder..the rolled up one is clearer..but "C" has a little character.
Thanks for visiting love your blog

Andrea said...

Gorgeous quilt - I really like the blue/brown mix. I vote for D xx

Anita said...

C is my favourite!

Love the colours in this quilt.

Joy said...

I like 'e' - even though it doesn't showcase the quilt as well ... it does look lovely nestled there among the gum trees.
Hugs,
Joy :o)

Jenny of Elefantz said...

The rolled one caught my eye immediately! :-) Reminds me of good chocolate so I went warm and fuzzy inside...

quiltygal said...

Carrie P. said...

A lovely quilt for your brother. I like it a lot. I think I like picture a just because you can see more of the quilt but the last is pretty neat how you rolled it up.

Wendyb said...

I love F too, but C is a really good closer shot of the pattern and colours. Any would be great though, they're all beautiful.
;o)

Days and colors said...

All pictures are lovely! The ones I like most are a and d, the colors go so well together! A beautiful quilt!

Kiwifruit-Shiree said...

F! I love the rolled up quilt picture!! How awesome to have it all done when you opened the box! That's the best way!!

Bec said...

The quilt looks gorgeous! esp down at the creek. love the trees.
a and c I liked, hard to pick though......

Rose Marie said...

a is the one for me .... love the quilt and a great place for photos.

Sherry said...

I like "D" because it seems to show off the quilt the best. I like "E" because of the play of sunshine & shadow. . .between both the tree & on the quilt.

It is a lovely quilt.

Cheryl said...

That's a beauty of a quilt....I am lovin' C also...but really like the picture with fairy girl in it! Don't think I told you but my girls new charges are the Koala Bears. She has fallen in love!

annemariesquilt said...

Beautiful, beautiful quilt, your brother is very lucky!!

Katherine said...

Gorgeous quilt! Great setting for taking pics of the quilt. I like "d" and the rolled up shot too.

Liz said...

Nice quilt and colours. I like a & f

Thimbleanna said...

BEAUTIFUL Donna. I love the setting with the trees -- and gosh, I can't pick just one favorite!

Helz said...

Great Shots Chookyblue... but gotta go for the rolled up version... Just Cause !

Solstitches said...

Fourth picture down is the one I like best and my second choice would be the last one as it gives a good close up of those gorgeous fabrics.
What a fabulous quilt!

Angels Come to Play said...

Hey Chooks I love the one with Fairy Girl admiring her mum's work and hoping she can be just like her mum one day. The rolled up one is my next choice and then B as it shows the knarly bark of the tree which is a great contrast with the colours of your gorgeous quilt.
