And finally..some sewing

With my Sister-in-law's due date now looming close, I thought I had better get back to the baby quilt I've been making. I sewed on a couple of borders last Thursday when I went to sewing class.

I thought I would re-use the original border of the panel so I sewed it back on.


It's a bit tricky to see but it's kind of 3-D now (and ignore that string hanging out the top..cut that off as soon as I get off this computer.) It was fiddly to do and I'm not really sure it was worth it, but the theory was that it made it a bit tactile...


The backing fabric should have been some plainish something but I fell in love with this flannel from the Oz Material Girls - so many of the same animals - and it's flannel which might be good since this will be a winter baby.

It's interesting to get to (near) the end of a quilt and consider if it's really worked out. There's a few things I might change about this little quilt, but generally I feel it's a bright cheery thing and suitable for a little person to spit-up/poop on! *smile*

Hope you're having a good week!
