A LITTLE GIRLS QUILT


Love this quilt pattern, its quick and easy to do and the little girls seem to love it.
 It is called Butterflies & Daisies 2 by Kids Quilts and I daresay it will be made again.



The little pillow is from the Worry Dolls pattern from Dont Look Now.
I have made it slightly bigger than the pattern and prefer this size and will continue to make them this big.
The backing and binding is the same as the quilt and it ties them together and makes a lovely gift.

Hi everyone, I have been very busy making quilts and other little stitching and sewing projects. The quilt and pillow pictured here are a gift for my next door neighbours 1st grandchild. DH and I attended the parents wedding last year and I said I would make their daughter, Isla a quilt. The colours that were chosen were blue and purple and I was a bit worried that it was not going to look very nice. But I shopped around for fabrics and used others from my stash and was pleased with how the quilt has turned out. With the leftovers I have made a little pillow to go with it and I am sure they are going to like it.
 I cant show the other quilt as yet as I was doing a test run on a pattern for my  friend Dawn and as it is to published in a magazine later this year the design is a secret, but I will show you after the publication comes out. Hope the waiting wont be too bad and it will be worth the wait.
Just have to put the finishing touches to a couple of smaller projects and will be posting them.
Bye for now Jude
