James' Quilt

Another back posting - this is on the first quilt I finished and I made it for a friends baby.I wasnt sure of the sex baby yet, and knowing my friend's taste, I wanted to create a gorgeous baby quilt in classy pastels of cream and green and yellow.

It somehow evolved to an extremely bright and colourful fabric collection - but I loved it.
The planning process:

For the record, the placing of the white background spot was deliberate.
The pinning:

After machine quilting:

  1. Still love polka dots - and the border fabric was a savvy choice too.
