Pinky done!!

I finished the pink bow tie quilt. Yay for me!! ;)

This one is show quality, so I will save it for Canning in November. Fully machine made, quilted in the ditch, binding turned to the front and topstitched close to the edge. Finished size 86cm x 68cm - doll quilt size.....

The back is a printed check, which is awful. The print is wonky, so even though it's cut on the grain it looks crooked. It is so soft, though, and I don't think it's gonna matter in this instance....

More bow ties!

Since the blue bow tie quilt was so quick and easy, I thought I would do another one - in pink this time! Also did all the centres the same, just to see how it goes.

Just laid them out for a quick look, and so far, I like it! I will definitely trim these before I stitch them though. Last time I was out a bit and it ended up a bit longer on one side - I don't think the baby it's going to is going to care... ;)

I have used a combination of quilting cotton, checks and flannelette. All are cotton, just different weights, so we'll have to see how that turns out. Will reposition the blocks until I'm happy, but it's going to work out nicely.

Blue bow ties finished!

After a trip to get some matching thread, the blue bow tie quilt is done! I am really pleased how it turned out.

Just did a simple quilting in the ditch, it's light and airy. Finished size approximately 90cm x 70cm. I think it's going to make a perfect gift for tomorrow's baby shower! My Berenguer baby boy wanted to have his picture taken today....
