I know I should be working on my 2020 BOM quilt  :rolleyes:, but last  night I got back into my sewing room for the first time since my mum died and there is no therapy like making a baby quilt. Also my friend’s first grandchild is now a day overdue, so it is going to be needed soon.
Decided just to make a different version of one I made before with appliqué farm animals (: I still had the cut out appliqué patterns and the blocks are simple blocks in blocks).. The mum-to be had asked for an animal theme and bright colours, so I had much fun digging out all my animal fabrics.. Hiw wonderful to do something normal again!  :D

Wonderful, a simple bimple quilt is just the job to take your mind off things ... pop on a good audible book and you're away !!!

We'll need pics of course!   :devil:

I'm making a simple quilt too ( accompanied by an audiobook of course ) as I was feeling panicky and unsure about sewing. It's good therapy....and......you get a quilt  :D

That’s it finished and the baby is still not here : now 10 days late- poor mum to be! My friend requested an animal theme and bright colours, so it’s certainly bright and backed with yellow cuddle fleece.

It's adorable. I like the cat and cow blocks in particular.

What a darling quilt!  The kid’s first words will be animal sounds!
