Ingrid has opened the quilt I made for her little girl Elizabeth so I can show you all some pics of it myself now.
When I first bought the fabrics I was pretty pleased with them and it was easy from there to figure out what type of piecing I would do. Once I did all the piecing and stitched together the top I didn't particualrly like it anymore. In fact I hated it and was ready to start over. However I kept going and thought that it was not for me and I had put together the colours as per requested.
Once I started the quilting part I realised it all actually did work well it just needed a little boost. This also gave me the oportunity to use some of the decorative stitches on my machine.
Once complete I actually was very happy with it, still not my idea of colour combination but the quilt is much batter than what I first thought it was going to be. This is only my third quilting project.
I also decided to personalise the label for Elizabeth as well.

The more I look at it, the more I like it. First glance it seems random until you stop and really look and realise it's not. Does that make any sense!!?? Anyway, it's lovely, well done!
Its lovely Xena, especially like the heart details. Very nice.
