Some friends of ours had a baby boy on Tuesday last. I debated about whether to make him clothes or a quilt, but eventually the idea of a quilt sat right with me.
I cut 35 6" squares from some of the reds and blues in my stash. Pieced them together...and quilted straight lines, 1/4" either side of the ditch. I bound it in red, I finished it whilst watching a great movie called Incendies....you should try watching a very intense movie, in French, with subtitles, whilst hand sewing on binding...maybe not the best plan.....it was a great film though!

And it's a great quilt! Love the fabrics you've used - can't believe you made a quilt so quickly!
Wow! I love the colour combination! And I bet the baby's parents are pleased with it!
Fantastic quilt! I like the combo of fabrics you chose.
Thanks Justine...some are faster than others...I have one quilt in progress for almost a year now!
Thank you Ellu...They were very pleased. Both parents are from families of "makers", so they do appreciate hand-made things.
Thanks Cindy...I am pleased with the colours and fabrics too, and it didn't take too long to choose either...always a bonus!
Fab Millie,
Gosh you are clever!
Thank you Nicole....you're very kind!
Ooh I love it, it would take me at least a year to make this, never mind making it whilst watching an intense film with subtitles. I hope the lemon meringue is good. I am really pleased that you found me.
Thanks Kath, The Lemon Meringue was gorgeous! I say "was" because it is all but gone! I will be making aonther one or two for the birthday on Sunday. Thanks again for the recipe.
Oh brill, I am really pleased!
