So this is what I ended up with! Very girly, sugar and spice. All 2 1/2 inch squares for the middle bits and for the border just some charm squares cut in half.
I quilted it in a cross stich like pattern - I was surprised how easy it was. I thought I would make a bit of a mess but having close lines made it easier.
The back was some pale pink homespun with a strip of gorgeous flowery fabric (not sure what it was, just that I bought it from fabric shack on special). Binding was a bright aqua turquoise print from Sarah Fielke new Spotlight collection.
It was the first quilt I have quilted since having my beautiful boy who is an amazing sleeper (6 weeks old and already doing 7hr night sleeps)
I have a few charity quilts to get quilted this week for the Caring with quilts for the Warrumbungle fires earlier in the year. I am hoping to quilt up two kids quilts that have been sitting in my unfinished pile for a while. Just need a bit of charity motivation!
I just did an update for Caring with Quilts on my blog.....
ReplyDeletethis is a lovely quilt..........
Thanks Chookblue! And I hope to have 2 (possibly 3) kids quilts heading to the CWA next week - depending on the behaviour of 2 little munchkins on the weekend!
