#perle cotton
Hand-stitched star: I have been cleaning up in my sewing room over the past few weeks and I found this star that I had hand-quilted a long time ago. I decided just to add some binding to finish it up into a small little quilt - it finishes up at 6.5″ square.
I put it in the kitchen as a pot holder! Always nice to add a bit of colour and have my handmade items around the house.

Baby quilt for my nephew:
Over the Easter long weekend a couple of weeks back, I went to visit my new baby nephew, and brought him a quilt that I have been working on for a long time! This is the first and only quilt that I’ve entirely hand-pieced and hand-quilted. It is also made out of the scraps of the quilts I made his parents for their wedding present, so it has special meaning!
The quilt fit in very well with his adorable nursery and I hope that it will be used and cuddled over the years. It is very crinkly and soft already, and hasn’t yet been washed!
Quilty Details:
- * Approximately 35″ square finished size
- * Hand-pieced using English paper pieced diamonds, using Kona Cotton scraps from the gemstone quilt I made for the baby’s parents’ wedding present
- * Hand-appliqued to backing fabric (Kona Lemon)
- * Hand quilted using perle cotton; 8-gauge for most but 5-gauge (thicker) for the white
- * Backing is an Art Gallery Fabrics print
Linking up with Finish it up Friday.
