Baby quilt for Theodora
In what has become a family tradition, I have created another triangle quilt for my little niece. This one was delivered in person (but a year and a half late - been busy! Having a little one of my own is somewhat time consuming). Her parents asked for the same colour theme as a quilt that I made for my brother and sister-in-law. At this point I was quite grateful that I'd kept a document of the colours that I'd used previously. My little orange book is becoming a really useful resource.
The back was a bit plainer than I normally would go for, or at least a little less fiddly. The only thing I was a bit annoyed by was the use of flannel material (the blue block) as it was really hard to cut as it kept stretching. I was running short of time as I had to finish all the machining before we flew off and it was the only type of fabric that I could find that was 100% cotton.
The quilt is bound in plain green which really helped to pull the whole thing together, although I haven't really taken a good photo of that for some reason. The photos that I do have were taken on the balcony of my sister-in-law's new flat. Stunning views!
