I finally finished my first quilt!
It is for my good friend Lou's little girl
Emma first birthday.
For the front of the quilt I wrote a poem, found a cool crayon font and had it printed at Spoonflower.
I picked an adorable Koala print also from Spoonflower for the back.
I bought the purple polka dot fabric for the border and the pre-made bias binding from GJ's Fabrics.
Having a look at my colour choices!
I was quite happy with this combo, not too girly girl!
I used a walking foot so the fabric would
evenly feed through the machine.
The masking tape was used as a guide to get
lovely stright lines.
lovely stright lines.
Mitring the corners is always a bit tricky.
I machine stitched the binding down on one side, folded it around to the other side
and hand stitched it down.
I hand embroidered my name and the date to add a little special touch!
Lou and Emma looking happy!
I am very happy too with how it turned out!
I'm already dreaming of my next one,
adult size next time!
