Butterflies and flowers

I've made another little quilt for baby Charlotte Emily. The butterflies and flowers are made from bits from my scrap bag, a great way to use really nice pieces left over from larger projects.  I thought the garden, on this rare sunny morning, was the right setting for the photograph.
I recently discovered a quilting supply shop in a nearby town that stocks fabulous fabrics from Cranston Village, the backing for the quilt is a piece of their Beatrix Potter fabric.

    Thank you, erp and Val. I would never have attempted to sew if I hadn't become a grandma. I love playing around with colours.

    I've only ever made one very easy quilt. I was inordinately proud of it as I'm not a natural seamstress- requires more patience than I can usually muster.
    This one is great and I like the reverse side as well.

    When I was 12, I was advised to forget needlework and stick to physics! My work does not bear close inspection but I think I have a reasonably good eye for colour combinations and babies are not critical!

I love to read your comments and promise that I will reply as soon as I can leave my garden, sewing room or kitchen!
