Baby Quilt in Waiting

This week, I finished off the baby quilt I started a couple of weeks ago.


I pin basted it, machine quilted it and attached the binding when Christine came over to sew on Tuesday night.   It was a very productive evening!

 
I did an organic cross hatch over the entire quilt with light gray thread.


I took these pictures outside this morning, before work. A few colourful leaves are still clinging to the branches of our worplesdon sweetgum tree.

 
I bought two of these little chipmunk fence sitters at a store in London, Ontario. They help the real chipmunks in my backyard to feel welcome!


I like the turquoise binding on this quilt.  I finished off the hand stitching last night.


The backing is soft flannel.
 
Someday, this will be gifted to someone who has a baby girl. In the meantime, it will live at my house.

  12. Lovely little quilt. I really like the turquoise binding too. I always seem to bind with a dark colour, but I've seen several quilts in the blogosphere with lighter coloured binding and it's really effective so maybe I'll step outside my comfort zone for the next one!!
