Remember this?
Baby Jorja was born about four weeks ago.
We have yet to visit the family and their new addition.
By all accounts, she is a little angel.
Except for a few threads to be tied in, and the addition of a label, the quilt is ready for gifting.
I have machined the quilt myself, on my sewing machine, very simply, by sewing around each circle while sewing the flaps down to make the petals (and form the 'fake' cathedral windows).
I chose the fabrics on line and I was a little anxious about how true to life the fabrics appeared online.
Well, I couldn't be happier.
My first online fabric purchase and the selection of fabrics couldn't have been better co-ordinated, I don't think.
Let's see if I can attach label and tie in threads before the end of the weekend!
Then it's a visit to little Jorja, hopefully next weekend (if Mr Honey Pie isn't rostered on at work).
thats very pretty and so neat, you did a great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kath, I quite enjoyed making this one. No binding made it so much quicker to complete.
DeleteWell done! It looks rather hard to make. My goal for weekend is to finish a baby quilt too so you have errged me on.

Hope you get to finish your baby quilt this weekend Leanne. Loved Abbey's quilt by the way.
DeleteI found this pattern very easy. It's a Moda Bakehouse pattern available online. I made it a little larger than the original to accommodate a cot. But having said that my friend made one too and if I'd taken her advice I'd never have started mine since she had so much difficulty. Me? I'd make it again...yes...maybe even larger than this. Happy sewing!
Congratulations on the birth of baby Jorja SP. Those quilt colours look nice and bright - Dave
