It’s been a busy time here with two more quilts that have been gifted to family. The first one is very thrifty as it uses up some left over blocks from the wedding quilt featured below in “A Wedding Quilt for a special couple”.

This one is “lap quilt” size and has gone to live on the bottom of my mother-in-law’s bed in her care home in Wimbledon. She has had a succession of my quilts there since since moving in 14 moths ago and enjoys the changing view she gets. I’m sure another one will be heading her way before too long.

The second finish is another baby quilt that has already found its way across the ocean to await the arrival of another great niece. She is due in December in South Carolina USA. I enjoyed using lots of different 2.5” pink squares in this one and I was delighted to find the white hearts on grey print for the background and backing. The design of the front gave me lots of opportunity to play with the quilting design and to wrestle with getting my loops to go round 90 degree corners!
