Quilt #3

Been keeping myself busy on my college holidays…(relevant work experience still eludes me). I’ve made a quilt for my boyfriend’s sister who is expecting her first child in August (hope she’s not following this blog because it’s meant to be a surprise!).

This is the 3rd quilt I’ve made so far…it measures approx. 1m x 1m. I purposely chose bright, happy colours and as we don’t yet know the gender of the baby I steered clear of any pink (although I have included blue, I feel girls are just that bit more open to colours that aren’t typically associated with their gender – we’re just more mature in that way I guess!). I also steered away from using pastel shades as I want this to be something the child can has forever and I tend to associate pastels with babies.

All fabric was procured from my local haberdasher, The Remnant Basket in Dundalk.

It probably took about 10 hours to complete, I’ll need to shave a bit of time off the production process if I’m to set up my own sweat shop in my spare room – probably best I just stick to making them occasionally for pregnant family members.
