This is the finished piece. I've called it 'A Touch of France' because of the colours used. It measures about 74 cm by 80 cm.

In New Zealand We Call It Tinny. . .
. . . when things are lucky or work out just right, and so it was for the latest rookie quilt I have made for my beginner lessons. I had just a tad over the right amount of binding to overlap to do the diagonal join. The border fabric is quilte busy so I decided to join all the off cuts to use for the binding. I did a rough measure and this is how much overlap I had. Just right for trimming to the 2 1/2 inches overlap required for 2 1/2 inch double-fold binding.

Must be an Aussie one too, as I have grown up with it...over a few long years.
Great quilt Helen - and its asymmetrical!! Nicely balanced. Thought you said you hadn't been sewing - doesn't it count if its for teaching?
Vibrant and beautiful!
It is a lovely quilt. Tinny it is- my SIL is dead tinny about finding parking spots right at the door to the shopping centre.
Very colorful!
Wow! That's cutting it close! I love the assymetry of your "Touch of France". It really catches the eye!
Love this quilt and the layout that you used.
