As promised in my previous post, here is more on my day of quilt framing.
This next quilt, I've been working on for quite some time. It wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be.
A good friend of mine is expecting her first child in a couple of weeks and asked that I make her a quilt.
She admires the quilt I made for Argyle before he was born, and not knowing if I was having a boy or girl, I tried to make it nuetral. (Looking back, I think it fits 'boy' better.) Anyway, she wanted one like it.
Selfishly not wanting to make my baby's quilt for someone else, I came up with a different design that would also test my sewing skills. OH BOY! It was tough. A LOT of unpicking happened and some frustration. Things didn't turn out like I had imagined, but I am still happy with the end result. I just hope my friend is too.

I also knew the perfect backing for this quilt. In case it's a little hard to see, I picked Anne Kelle's Urban Zoologie Whales in cuddly.

That's all for today. I'll be back later with another quilt!
