So my Little Miss is 10! I cant believe it, which I'm sure every parent says! I was particularly touched that she asked me to make her a quilt for her birthday; I had recieved some vintage fat quarters along with my Snap Press, and also went into a swap, so was arranging them (in colours, of course) and testing out this pattern for myself when her request was simple- "One of those in purple please"!
I enlisted the help on Instagram to pick the pattern (the left one);
and got to work! I managed it in about 4-5 days; Using the time she was at camp for layout and basting, and after she was asleep for the quilting.
I accidentally (no, really, it was) used the same pattern binding that I used for this quitl; I love the coincidence, as does she!
And the full thing
and backing. My girl and I love fake moustaches, and this print was perfect for the back. Some different quilting patterns gave it a lot of interest.
A perfect fit! (Teddy approves).
