Intervention Required

I made another quilt. And I have fallen in love with it, so now the baby has another quilt. I could give away the other quilt but I am rather fond of that too. Plus I have a kids quilting pattern book on the way and of course I have my lovely fabrics, plus I may have been trying to recreate a couple of designs I saw on the Internet. Complete with graph paper and all.

 So here is my new baby. Well not my really new baby, but my baby quilt :) I used the Charm Park of Good Fortune By Kate Spain. Then I teamed it with the left over cream from Adele's quilt. This made me rather sentimental about it as then the girls can have a matching sort of quilt.

I can honestly say whilst I was making it I was not fond of it. I cut the cream fabric really poorly. So the squares weren't square and then when I started making the pinwheels they were really not square and then when I thought I had squared them and started sewing them together nothing matched up and it looked a bit terrible. It was a bit too far down the track to start again, so I added a 1.5 (so one after sewing) inch border to the blocks. Now you can't really tell that nothing lines up. It did, of course, make it a bit bigger so I was worried that I wouldn't have enough fabric left to make all the prairie points. But I had just enough. Not one left over. So perfect. As I sit and write this and look at it on the ground I can see it is a bit wavy so not really sure how well it will quilt together. I am tempted to take it to the shop and get it done, but really that would be a bit naughty as I am determined to quilt all my own smaller quilts. A bit of a nightmare project that now I love. Funny how that happens! I have no batting at the moment so quilting will have to wait anyway.

So this one is almost finished and all I can think of is this pattern I saw on the net. No, I can't start another one!!!! But, it will only use scraps so does that even count ;)
