Hotch Potch Quilt
1:02 pm
I'm not sure quilting and I are really friends. I feel much the same about quilting as I do knitting. I admire both, even enjoy both, but neither flow with me the same way dressmaking does.
India asked for a quilt for Christmas, and I'd been saving scraps of fabric for a while, so using those as a starting point and then stash shopping I pulled together everything I needed to make her one.
There were even enough scrap pieces left over for Eden to make her a matching cushion.
I finished sewing the binding on by hand at around 11.30pm on Christmas Eve, and I'm glad to say India really likes it. I hope my stitching stands up to years of snuggles under it.

It is certainly very beautiful. I think you and quilting should become more than just acquaintances. You are a natural.

Wow Jeanette. This is lovely. Will you teach me how to quilt? I have some old clothes of the girls' that I can't part with and the fabrics would make lovely quilts/cushions.
