Done Baby!

A week or so ago I finished the baby quilt for Cindy and her shop.


A few weeks ago, she sent me a charm pack of Mama Said Sew, some Kona Snow and I used this tutorial.


I quilted it in  horizontal and vertical lines and bound it using the grey chevrons, which I think look great! Good choice Cindy.


The back is simply pieced. Now it's off to Ireland!


This is my 6th finish of the year. Linking up with TGIFF.

Cindy Said Sew

Back at the beginning of March, the lovely Cindy over at Fluffy Sheep Quilting asked for a little help from her friends to make some baby quilts for a quilt festival in Galway this June.  She aims to have lots of new charm packs for sale and needs some quilts to show off what can be made with them! With many of the lines not available until May, she was up against it timewise.

She gave us ideas as to lines we could use and I chose the existing Mama Said Sew as Cindy had it in stock and could get it over to me immediately.

A couple of weeks ago this little ready made quilt kit of loveliness arrived.


So yesterday with temperatures hitting 40° C (104°F),the sensible thing to do would have been not to start the quilt top. Sensibleschmensible. Using this super straightforward Moda Bake Shop pattern I soon had this baby sewn up.


Now anyone who reads this blog regularly will know this isn't my usual colour palette but it's been fun to play with fabrics which I wouldn't normally use and so many of the prints in this line are lovely!


Temperatures are due to drop again at the weekend and then I'm hoping to get this basted, quilted and back off to Cindy next week!


If you don't know Cindy's shop, where have you been? Gorgeous fabrics, solids, Aurifil, perle, amazing service...need I go on?
