I actually finished this quilt between Christmas and New Years (I think) but yay! It's finished!
This quilt was started way back in 2010 while pregnant with Charlie who I thought was a girl. I bought the fabrics as a fat quarter bundle from Calico & Ivy, I couldn't resist their flannely softness.
It is still too hot here to use it yet, hopefully it will get some love in the coming months. I'm a little over this summer and am ready to stop sweating in the afternoons while I prepare dinner.
I have fabric bundles for two more baby quilts in the wings, and I still haven't sewn Charlie a quilt yet either (though I have cut the fabric and started sewing HST's).
I hope you all are getting more crafting time than I am!

That is just beautiful Margret. Well done for finishing it, at last! I remember how sure you were that Charlie was a girl. Did he ever wear that pink vest I had knitted for Quinn? Love the visiting chicken beneath the quilt! Hope you get a breath of cool air up your way soon. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Alison, yes he did wear it but only once before it was too small. And Charlie still wears pink :) who new that vest could have two more go rounds at your house!

It looks great! I'm sure she will love it and once it's on the bed it will be just the motivation you need to keep going with Charlie's one.
ReplyDeleteMargret, it is absolutley devine! Well done!!! it looks amazing and i am sure Mia and you will treasure it for many many years to come- so special!!! (my mum gets a patch made to go on the back of hers with dates/details etc...remind me to show you next time!) Love Mel.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mel, I keep meaning to add a patch with the details. When I figure out how to do it I'm going to go back and add them to all the quilts I've made… I think they are called plates? I would love to see how your Mum does it.
