So,Josh had a lovely quilt made by my mum; I had my rather shrunken Amy Butler blanket and we were off camping to Cornwall. Dave clearly needed something apart from me to keep him warm so I thought it was time to try quilting. I was inspired by a scrap quilt I saw in
Mollie Makes 11 from
A Passion for Quilting by
Nicki Trench. Just a few links for you to follow! And this was the result -
Dave has a bit of a Heinz 57 Varieties heritage (Dutch, American, Scottish) and I tried to include that in the quilt. Backed with fleece it kept him nice and warm in windy Cornwall!
