I finished the baby quilt. It is bright and yellow and I really like it.
What I don't like is that the clear polyester thread leaves VERY slightly scratchy bits where they are cut short. It makes for a great quilting thread, as you don't have to change colors all the time, but it tangles FREQUENTLY All the poky bits were a pain.
I sat down with some cuticle scissors, because sewing scissors did not cut close enough to the fabric. I brushed my hand over every stitch on both sides of the quilt, cutting as I felt little pokes. I sure hope I got them all, because I want the new baby to adore this quilt.
The satin binding is silky smooth and I picture this baby rubbing her fingers up and down the edges, like my kids did with their blankets.
I am loving my new basket making, so I made a wee basket out of the yellow scraps to go with the quilt. Small babyish things can be placed in there.
Maybe it will have a spot on the changing table. I didn't put any embellishments on it is case they are pulled off and consumed by a small baby. No choking hazards for THIS baby!
I finished the quilt, so where is the baby? Guess Vanessa is still making that gift for ME!
That is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you noticed this but there is one duck flipped the opposite direction not trying to be rude or anything
ReplyDeleteYou're not rude. You are observant! One is facing the other way. It was that way in the pattern. I think it was to get a child to look and find which one was not like the others!
