Baby Mia was born on the 1st of October – it’s now almost the end of the month.  But finally, her quilt is finished.

Although I spent hours agonising over the block placement so that I wouldn’t have the same combinations in the same line, or the same two beside one another more than once, I must have mucked things up a little when I piled up the blocks before sewing them together.  There are a few glitches.

I’m not certain that this should actually be called a quilt, since although there is plenty of piecing, there is no actual quilting involved.  There is a layer of wadding in between, and I backed it with fabric from the stash.

The fabric squares are a mixture of vintage chenille and quilting cottons.  Now to get it in the mail!
