I’ve made quilts for our nephew’s and niece’s babies for their first Christmas. I’ve just finished no 6! This one is for my niece’s little boy. I chose 2 brightly coloured charm packs from www.craftsandquilts.net at Sandown Quilt Show back in June. I decided to join them in groups of 4, and spent some time arranging them and rearranging them on the floor before sewing. I bought the red for sashing and the monkey print for the back from More Sewing, my local fabric store. I found the lovely stripe fabric for the binding at More Sewing too. I’m really pleased with the final quilt, it looks very colourful which was the look I was after.
What great gifts. I'm sure they'll be treasured. That monkey print is so cute. I'll become a Great Aunty for the first time next month and there is a baby quilt in the pipe line here too.
