Joe's Quilt


This is the quilt I made for my nephew Joseph for his 1st birthday last week. I haven't mailed it yet - I don't think his parents know I have a blog so it's all right!! It is my attempt at a sort of stacked coin quilt. The fabric is all from the 'Sail Away' range by Henry Glass. I bought the fabric for the stacked coins as a teeny tiny strip roll from Creative Fabrics at the Malvern show. The borders and sashing are made in a complimentary fabfic from the 'Sail Away' range. The quilting was an experiment in free-motion quilting for me - I am very new to it so it is nowhere near perfect, but I absolutely loved doing it!
