Quilt for Tobias

I made Tobias a quilt last weekend. It is a flannel quilt made up of squares and quick ruffled edges. Mum and I dropped in to Derek and Jac's tonight to give them the quilt for their little man. They loved it! I was so pleased it went so well with the color of Tobias room and the jungle theme. This quilt really looked so much better after it was washed and put through the dryer check out the photos -

Owen's finished quilt

I finished Owen's quilt on the weekend. I adore working with flannel especially as the weather is getting cooler. Flannel is so easy to use and sews up so fast. I did this whole cot quilt over one weekend! Once it is sewn up and the edges cut, you just pop the quilt in the wash and dry it in a dryer to make the edges fluff up. I really love doing such quick projects although I must admit I didn't do any housework last weekend so my house is a disaster area.
I'm hoping to do another cot quilt for some friends who have just had a little boy called Tobias this coming weekend. The housework will just have to wait!
Happy sewing,

Amanda

Welcome to my first post!

Hard at Work

Hi readers, thanks for taking the time to visit my blog. It has been a tricky process just picking a name. All my good ideas were already taken..... "The Preacher's Daughter", "Piece on Earth", "Feed Dogs Down".... now I'll have to go and visit all these sites to check them out! I'm currenly working on Owen's quilt. This quilt is a cot quilt made up of flannel squares. It is a fast method and has an old fashioned look about it. Hopefully Owen will be snug and warm. Here's a couple of pictures, hopefully I'll be finished this afternoon.
