Mia’s quilt
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!
I love it Lara – & I can’t see any glitches.
I love the little hands and toes peeking out over the top and under the bottom in the first photo. I think the quilt is beautiful. It looks wonderfully snuggly, too.
Love the textures!
Glitches, schmitches, I couldn’t see a thing to complain about in the placing. I’d be very proud of a lovely little quilt like this! >smile<
Truly beautiful. Well done.
It looks beautiful with a lot of textures she can explore with her hands. I can’t see anything obvious wrong. She’ll love it. My theory is that if you can use it as a quilt then it is a quilt. 🙂 A lot of mine are applique based with minimal quilting or hand quilting.
Lovely job well done for getting it finished.
I really love it. I love the colours and the chenille. Lucky bubby!
What a great tactile baby quilt. I can’t see any glitches, and besides if they are there that’s what makes something truely handmade. With all the different textures, this is going to wash well and get an incredible shabby chic look to it – getting better with each wash. Lucky Mia – I’m sure this will become her favorite blankie!
Good girl, Lara – your first quilt! Looks wonderfully snuggly to me.
I can’t see any glitches, either. I just see a lovely tactile, cuddly quilt that was made with love and lovely fabrics.
Looks just lovely, and I am thinking that at one month she won’t care if the gift is a little late!
It turned out really well! I can’t see any glitches either!
Looks fabuloso! Lucky Mia
I love the quilt! The colors and the different textures really add to it! I’m inspired. I think that I’ll go and get out the fabric and start cutting some squares myself!
Thank you for sharing..!
