A new baby

I finished this little pinwheel quilt this week, and have already posted it to it's new owner (a worlds record posting for me!). I did have a little pile of clothes etc as well, so I knew I'd better post soon or she'll be too big!


I used a vintage sheet on the back, so cute and easy.


A 'slightly scrappy' binding, 2 colours to blend the front and back together.


Straight line quilting (except this photo is of the wonkiest bit, but hey, wonk is fine!)


And again, yummy corners. I surprise myself every time they work, believe me.


Oh, and I have to show off my 'non gardening'. Most of the back and front look like this at the
moment....(weeds pretending to be grassy lawn)


 But in a little neglected corner, a bit of beauty.

Perfect quilt for a little person. Lovely bright pinwheels.
Straight is only a perception.

I would love to have received something home made like that when I had littlies. It's lovely and I think the wonk gives it a loved appearance much more than a perfect factory made item. Cherrie

What a pretty quilt! The lilies look as though they are enjoying all the cold weather we have been having.
