I finally finished the little quilt I had been working on for Lizzie - I'm working my way through my unfinished projects and I'm delighted to show you the finished result of this quilt! This was my first attempt at quilting blocks and I'm very pleased with the final article - the pattern came from a book I borrowed from the library. I used an old fleece blanket as the reverse of this quilt, rather than cotton fabric, to make it more snuggly and cosy - being striped made lining it up a little more challenging, but overall it looks pretty good! I used an old white fitted sheet cut up into strips to make the border for the quilt top and some leftover fabric from the blocks stitched together into strips to make the binding.
Lizzie was delighted with it, and that was the main thing as far as I was concerned! She's been watching me working on it (on and off) for months, and was beginning to get slightly impatient waiting for it!
Here's Lizzie modelling the finished quilt. Most nights she sleeps with it over her duvet, but it is often brought downstairs to snuggle up under on chilly days - and we seem to have had a lot of those of late!
I now just have two quilts left to finish and then I'll allow myself to make a start on some bits and pieces for the baby's room.
Best wishes
Debbie
