Easter Winner and Back to the Shop

If I was a follower of fashions and trends I'd have in my hot little hands now enough beauitful fabric to be able to happily finish the applique quilt I have embarked on.....but as I am not and love the 'random' coming together of different fabrics I have to hop in the car and go back to the shop and try and find something that looks as nice as the mocha "Portabello Markets Paisley" that I bought just for my applique urn and one tiny border. Apparently it's old stock and there is no more and I have spent half the weekend trying to sorce some more. How did I know it would look so lovely that nothing else would do *sigh*. I love how the applique has turned out and I actually got the setting corners right (ok I had help on how from my friend Cathy).
What do you think.....somehow the hexies that started all this are somehow going to feature in all this or I may have 2 completely different quilts yet.
Why do my works in progress look like I just unscrewed them from a ball. I am really enjoying doing this as I haven't indulged myself with some needleturn for a long while. Just in case you wondered I still have 3 corners to go.

Now for the WINNER of my manic Easter giveaway that you were all good enough to take part in.
TARNYIA from way across the Nullabor in WA. Congrats to you Tarnyia and I know from past experience it won't get there before Easter. Enjoy your goodies.
Have a wonderful Monday everyone. I am off to the quilt store with fingers crossed xxx and then writing instructions.....lots of instructions!!!!
Blessings Michelle xx
