My first quilt festival entry.
Made for young Charlie last year.
I had the Alexander Henry 'Traffic' fabric for a while and suddenly thought I better make something from it before he 'grew' out of the cars theme.
When I pulled it out to take photos of it he yelled 'That's mine, what are you doing with it'.
Mmm, slightly possessive about his quilts.
I used cotton batting which makes it lovely and soft and lightweight.
Perfect for our spring and summer season.
I was just 'starting to get the hang of' free motion quilting with this quilt.
Confidence and free motion quilting is a good thing.
I love this quilt because it is so bright, happy and 'boyish' and it feels fantastic.
Use the link to the right to go and look at some inspiring quilts. Something for everyone.
