A couple of weeks ago on St.Valentine's, the lovely Nat at Made in Home posted pictures of her Simple Love quilt - a quilt she had made for a photo shoot with her beautiful 2 month old boy for thank you cards.
Now despite those beautiful pops of pixelated reds against the gorgeous low value charms, Nat confessed that she wasn't really feeling the love. I know. She posed the thought that perhaps it would be good for a giveaway. I cheekily suggested that yes, she should just give it to me. And she did!
Now I'll confess that despite the photos of Baby MIH on the quilt, I thought the quilt was a mini - kind of wall hanging size but as you can see from the picture above that it's big!
This is the softest quilt I have ever felt. It's truly beautiful. Nat kept the quilting to a minimum with some red hand stitching around the heart blocks - just perfect.
The binding is Liberty and the backing has some lovely red Gingham and more of those lovely charms.
I am so thrilled that Nat sent me this quilt - she said she wanted a home where it will be loved and I can promise that in bucketloads. Now it wouldn't be fair if Nat wasn't to get something in return and I'm hatching a plan - thank you Nat!!
