Two quilts - for a great-niece and a great-nephew - were finished in December. Hopefully there is a bit of a lull in the procreation stakes and I can work on other than baby quilts in 2026. I've never made a quilt for hubby so that is a goal for 2026.
Lainey's quilt - I'm finally gifting a quilt before the baby turns one! Miracles can happen. I saw the quilt design on Pinterest and thought that would make a nice change for a baby quilt. I've worked out that there is about 110m of quilting on this quilt, in addition to the piecing and adding the binding. That's a lot of thread - Bottom Line Rainbows and . All fabrics came from my stash, which is good. Finished top: 79" x 55". Finished quilt (after quilting): 77" x 53"
Finlee's quilt - another Happy Block finish. All fabrics from my stash. The backing is a doona cover from the op shop. So nice not having to piece the back. The quilting is walking foot diagonal lines over the blocks, swirls around the letters in the name block, loop the loop in the grey border, and several wavy lines along the length of the striped border. Finished top: 61" x 77". Finished quilt (after quilting): 60.5" x 76".
Yes, I've used the same border fabric for each quilt.
