A new baby is always a good excuse to crack out the Janome. My friend just had a baby girl. Her poor mum had an horrific time during her pregnancy for a number of different reasons so I wanted to make her baby something special.
I saw her for the first time on Sunday.... yes the tears welled up for a few seconds but I hardened up.
When I first saw these quilts by Alison Harris of Cluck Cluck Sew decided it was definitely a good one for a Copy-Kate. I love the simplicity of the design and the clean look. I find a lot of her quilts a real treat for the eye without being too busy. I limited myself to fabrics which I already had....tried to kerb the fabric buying addiction slightly.
For the back I needed a bit extra than what I had for the backing fabric so I pieced a few rectangles together.
I'm not as yet the greatest quilter, so I opted for easy lines a quarter inch either side of the triangles on the front.
Special thanks to Emily and her skinny little arms for holding up the quilt, and to Abigail for being born.
