I am feeling a bit guilty for being away from the blog for so long! It’s a bit like when you haven’t phoned a friend for a long time and you know you should have done and the longer it goes, the harder it gets.
I got this fabric a few months ago when a local patchwork shop was closing down and I just couldn’t resist it. Well the baby I started making it for is too big for it now… but luckily another baby boy has come along in the mean time so he will now be getting this one!
I decided to keep it really simple and make it out of six blocks.
A little bit of sashing around the blocks and using up all the offcuts for the outer border and this is how it turned out:
I am just waiting for it to come back from my quilting lady, Natalie who will be quilting a kite design in pale aqua all over it – can’t wait to see it and I will show you how it turns out.
Wow, Sue, that’s really stunning. And not exactly my idea of “simple”, it looks bloomin’ complicated to me 🙂
Thanks Jill, I’m looking forward to finishing it and sending it off.
Looks great as it is – can’t wait to see the quilting completed.
Thanks Sim – hoping to get it back before Christmas.
It turned out really beautiful. Blessings, Mtetar
Thank you Mtetar 🙂
Beautiful. I recognise the circle fabric too. I am looking forward to seeing the completed quilt.
By the way, it is lovely to see you back again.
Thank you Heather, its nice to be back!
That is so cute. They make so few cute materials for little boys.
Yes I couldn’t resist!
I woke this morning to find you following me. 🙂 I had to stop by again and say thank you. Guess this means I have to get busy again. So many crafts to do so little….everything; time, energy, courage. Oh well, We just keep plugging along, don’t we. Have enjoyed reading your blog and I hope you continue to find something of interest at mine. Hugs, MH
Bless you Marlene, I like to visit and see what you’ve been getting up to and yes we do have to keep plugging away and feeling that there are friends in far flung places makes it worthwhile 🙂
My followers are what keep me writing. Every time I feel like throwing in the towel, I get someone like you to keep me going. Hope you are have warm, happy holidays. Hugs, MH
