Pale and interesting quilt finished
« on: November 24, 2021, 11:03:25 AM »
Just finished this quilt, this morning. Cutting off all the tiny loose threads is always my least favourite bit!
 It’s for my granddaughter who is due to arrive in early January and quite different from my usual quilts. Originally I was going to give her a quilt I made in the summer from brightly coloured HSTs, but then I found another baby to give that one to. This one is probably a bit/ very gender stereotyped :S but since this is the first grandchild that I’ve known in advance is a girl, I was just in a girly mood! I usually avoid pastel colours in play quilts, but I’d seen one similar to this on the web and liked it. I also thought it was a good use of all those paler bits and pieces I had lying around.  I hope I’ve given her lots of interesting things to look at as she plays on the floor.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Thanks for the lovely comments.
Yes, @Bjay , it is FMQ. Mainly loops, with flowers at the block intersections ; flowers and leaves round the outside and with the occasional heart and words thrown in for luck!
I can do flowers and leaves in my sleep, but really must learn some new patterns.
