Amy's Quilt Finished

I got my niece Amy's quilt finished last night. This quilt was my experiment with sewing on patches of fabric and leaving raw edges, then washing and drying it to leave soft frayed edges. I quite liked how it turned out, though I'm not sure I will do another one. I was surprised how much work this quilt seemed to take considering its size. I did do quite a lot of hand stitching on it though.And finally a picture of Mummy & Baby quilts! (My sister liked the colours used in my Wonky Squares quilt, so I based the little one on it. I thought the material lasted really well - I only bought a fat quarter of each of the patterned fabrics in total.)

  1. Helen - you really should set up a business - these are gorgeous - I bought quilts for my boys quite a few years ago - they are only tiny like Amy's one and I think they cost me around £80 each - they are nowhere as nice as yours!!!
