- well I was in bed fast asleep for the actual event but I am very thrilled to have finished my dancing girls quilt
Introducing Mama Tembu.....
93" x 84"
The African Queen block was drafted and shared freely by Sew Preeti Quilts for International Women's Day in 2017. Find it HERE....
Some have hands in demurely, and others facing outwards rather precociously....
So my African Queen dancing girls is called Mama Tembu. I very seldom name my quilts but this one is my youth ... so it gets a name.
A lovely bold blue backing and orange binding.....
Righto, Gotto Go..... I had a long day of binding... all 354" of it... thanks to the Tuesday girls for keeping me company...

Oh this quilt is simply magnificent! I'd be dancing up a storm if I could create something so beautiful.
Congratulations on this joyful finish. I didn't know about the song so I called it up on Youtube and I get what you mean by "it's hard to not dance to" this song. Joyful, both of them. Love it. ;^)
