Well today it rained, well poured would be a more accurate description and the rain is depressing wanting to do something different today doing anything outside was pretty much out. So instead I dusted off - well I got out my sewing machine and started on a project. Project: Make.
Project: Make is a quilt for a lovely friend of mine who will be having a baby boy very, very soon. This sounds very much like I leave everything to the last minute - which I have a tendency to do it's true - but not in this instance. I had actually pieced together a front and back for a quilt for her and baby blue but being a perfectionist I later decided that I should have stuck with my original fabric choices and so the orginal pieced quilt top and back are now hanging in my wardrobe waiting for another baby blue...
I had already gotten as far as considering what fabrics I was going to use, so today I started cutting, cutting out coins for a stacked coin quilt. I'll confess when I finally get this quilt finished it will be my first and I have to finish this quilt as Mum to be knows that there's a handmade gift in the pipelines so she'll be expecting something and she knows I don't knit. I think I'll share more on the sewing and the quilting tommorrow but heres the fabrics I was considering the photo taken on a far lovelier day. The final selection were all picked to compliment Alexander Henry's 2D Zoo in Pool a fabric which I think's been around for a while but is a brilliant, bright, fun print for kids. Maybe even big kids after all I'm not going to use it all up in this first quilt...
