A Baby Quilt

 Dear me, I haven't written a word for weeks!  It's a busy time of year - I still can't quite believe that we are in December and the year is very nearly over.  Next week marks the start of 'crazy season' in our house - a fortnight of school concerts, parties and church event.  All of these events are well loved but it will be an exhausting fortnight.

I've made the odd Christmas gift - largely knitted - over the last few weeks.  The above picture, I appreciate, is extremely unseasonal but I found the pictures on the computer the other day and realised it was a project I hadn't shared!  It's a baby quilt made for my friend Emma's little girl.  It was a simple make - the pattern can be found on the Moda Bakeshop Website - and consists of a couple of mini charm packs from the Posy line by Aneela Hoey and corresponding Moda yardage.  The 2.5" squares are sometime challenging to sew together accurately but I'm happy with the result!  This is the last thing I sewed would you believe and that was back in September!

Hopefully, I won't leave blogging so long next time and I can share some festive projects - a Summer themed quilt really seems a bit out of place as the wind blows outside!
