Another finished quilt!

Yesterday I grabbed the bull by the horns so to speak and decided I wasn't leaving the kitchen table until I had finished off my yellow cot quilt!  I've been working on this one for a while but after a set-back the last time I was sewing it up, I put it away again (fed up!) and I've been trying to decide whether to unpick part of it or carry on as if that little mistake wasn't there!

I decided to carry on as though the mistake wasn't there - after all, it's ok for the quilt to look homemade - isn't it?!

The backing fabric and the binding came from this lovely Laura Ashley tablecloth I picked up in the Salvation Army charity shop for £1.99.  A good wash in the machine and it came up a treat.

I really liked the pattern on the tablecloth and there's plenty of fabric left over for another project.

I used an old fleece blanket as the "filling" for this quilt. The stripy outer sections came from a pair of cotton curtains (£1.75 from the charity shop) and the central stripes and squares came from eBay (99p).  I bought the stripes quite a while back, before I had my own cutting mat and rotary cutter.  I can make my own strips of fabric now!

I added some teddy ribbon tags too.

I'm happy to have this quilt finished and have learned from the mistake I made with this one! 

The next quilt I start will either be pink or blue - once we find out whether our baby is a boy or girl!  Just a couple of weeks until my due date now, so not too much longer to wait!

Best Wishes
