A Quilt For Emma


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.


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!
