Uniform - Fleur Maddern - "Hawk"

Uniform

Here is my "Uniform" quilt.  

This is not what I planned to make for uniform at all. 

As the person who set this challenge I had it all worked out before the challenge was announced exactly what I would make.  

But ....... Something happened and I created this instead.

Hawthorn Football Club.

Australians will recognise this as the emblem of the Hawthorn Football Club (AFL) (Australian Football League).

I acknowledge that it is not 'my' design, and I have copied the emblem from my son's football jumper.

But it is a "Uniform".

On Saturday 3rd Oct 2015, Hawthorn won the 2015 Grand Final beating West Coast Eagles.
My husband and 4 children are all Hawthorn supporters, so are all very pleased that 'their' team has won another Premiership.
Hawthorn has now won 3 in row, and 4 with their current coach Alastair Clarkson.

Alastair Clarkson is from Kaniva, Victoria, the same town as me. I am proud to say that I know Alastair and that I worked with his mother for 2 & 1/2 years.  I may even know things about him as a boy that are best kept secret!
Anyway I digress.
Congratulation Addis on another Premiership with Hawthorn Footy Club.

Binding

My personal challenge to myself is to make the binding / edging of each of my Art Quilts Around the World quilts different. On this quilt I have zig-zag stitched the edge to close and then added an organza ribbon folded in half over the edge leaving the ribbon see through off the quilt edge.
