Consensus told me that I should finish the Gremlin quilt straight away, before my baby comes along demanding all of my attention.
Thus it was that armed with wadding, backing and some natty yellow binding I managed to complete the quilt over a couple of mornings (afternoons reserved for biscuit munching, tea supping and peaceful naps).
I'm a little embarassed by the awful quilting, I've become a little out of practice,so I'm not very confident and went for something I knew I could cope with - my baby bump does prevent me from being able to get up close and personal with my machine.
I love the backing - an ikea print I've had for ages - which makes this quilt sort of reversible - what a great talking and pointing piece when baby is old enough to be distracted from tears and tantrums.
The binding is the yellow ovals from the Moda It's a Hoot range.
Despite bad quilting I LOVE IT, and think the baby will spend many happy hours rolling around on it and perhaps cuddling on the sofa with it one day xxx
