Blue for Boys


I'm meeting my friend for a coffee catchup and she is expecting a little boy any moment. 
SO... of course I thought I would whip up a little something for him. Its cot size (I hope!) with a thin blue fleece backing. And the hint of red just finishes it, dont you think.
On sunday I decided I would make it... I grabbed the backing to start - cut a size and then grabbed material and just used what I had. No pattern, just belief! 

As I started it was coming together nicely. Quite quickly too. I had a thought to give free motion quilting a go. I was feeling very brave. I lowered the dog feeds and pressed the pedal...... it did  not go well!
I unpicked it and quickly reverted to plan A - straight lines
My machine was going going going and more the next day. The quick pieceing together was soon overtaken by the quilting, but I was alot quicker than last time and really enjoyed it.
Hope she loves it
