Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm sure I posted this a few minutes ago, but can't find it, so here goes again!!! This is the first piece of patchwork which I have finished and given away!! Given that the pieces I used were quite big, it grew quickly & was completed in one (school) day..........plus finger repair time as I had stitched my finger into the patchwork...........don't ask ! It was a gift for DS's housemaster's son, who at almost 1 is a bit big for a baby quilt, so I made it for his first bed! Mum & dad seemed touched, I just hope littl'un likes it!!

Plum Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Those blues are really zingy. I bet they were really chuffed. Quilt in a day can be done then We'll have a whip round to buy you a thimble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Fabulous! Have you backed it with a fleece? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted July 11, 2009 Author Share Posted July 11, 2009 Yes I have, I got it on our Omlet trip to Ikea, and had thought that a half sized throw would be ok for the little chap, so cut it in half..........3 hours later I was stitching it back together as I'd got carried away with the patchwork & expanded my plan to fit a single bed !!!!

Valkyrie Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 It has a nice clean look to it, and cool for summer. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 It looks fab . Very crisp and cool colours. Love the use of the fleece backing too. Very impressed as that is your 1st attempt, I can't even see the blood spots . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
