Memory Quilt - with a twist!

Recently I was asked to do a very special project for a precious new arrival - and now she's arrived I can share it with you too! 

A friend of mine asked me to make a quilt for her first grandchild - she wanted a cot size quilt that could also be used as a play time / tummy time mat when the baby arrived.  Annita had some fabric of her own that she asked me to include, to give it a personal touch from Granny - and as an extra surprise, she gave me a page of doodles that the expectant mum had drawn and left at Annita's house, that she wanted incorporated into the design in some way.


The doodles had a big tree in the middle, so I used that as a centre piece with the sun in the corner to make a kind of woodland landscape scene, with some of the flowers and butterflies etc around it.

Voilà!


And here's little Nola Elizabeth, modelling it beautifully don't you think?
