Sheilago's CreationHere is my ‘ Counting sheep’ quilt for PL. It is a scrappy quilt, but every block has a sheep somewhere and I even had a little bit of sheepy fleece to patch into the back
. Hopefully it will help some wee person somewhere to doze off comfortably.

Louise S's CreationI finished mine last summer but have put it in the wash and taken photos.
I ran out of the blue fabric so used offcuts to make a pattern on the back.

Ploshkin's CreationI had started this for last year. I completed the quilt top before I had to pack away for the builders and it has languished in a box ever since. I didn't take any progress pics because the previous PL quilts have remained anonymous until after the poll but as progress pics have now been requested it can have an airing. I don't know when I will get an opportunity to complete it but I will try and make it by the deadline.
I have 3 possibles for the backing, none of which are the original fabrics I got for this quilt waaaay before I actually started it. That's how you get a stash!

Starryfish's CreationThis is my first real quilt, I made it from Makower animal life fabrics. It's a QAYG effort and taught me a lot about accurate cutting and sewing!

Kenora's CreationI haven't been able to find time to sew for the last month, but I thought I'd take a couple of photos of what my finished quilt
should look like once it's done. I had great ideas for colour combinations in my head, but now I've laid it out on the bed - only the individual D9P blocks are sewn together, nothing else - I'm not so sure I like it, but it's too late now.

I was intending to add an extra orange striped border in between the navy one and the outer turquoise chevron one, but it just didn't look right. The chevron border will also be mitred (if I can remember how to do it
).The binding will probably be plain navy.

The backing fabric doesn't show up in the photo very well. It's a medium/light grey with a yellow feather design. It's much nicer in real life.

Twopence's CreationHere it is then.
I used the Linus pattern for Courthouse Steps as that was what they asked for last year and just cut dinosaurs for the centre’s. The quilting was fairly simple as I stitched 1/4 inch round the centre panels and 1/4 inch in from the main seams joining the blocks before stitching the binding down on the front using blanket stitch.
