5" pre cuts

A while ago I bought a little pack of pre cuts. I think the range of fabric is called Sweetwater Reunion.

At first I thought it would make a nice little baby quilt so I just put navy and white strips around each piece and got this.

It was firstly a little small and secondly a little too sane for me.

Next I tried this:

 After asking son no. 2 what he thought, he moved a few of the panels to make the red stripe fabric fall in waves.

I do like the way he thinks!

I am not sure though, how to join it up. 

Do I extend the uneven ends with the navy fabric and then border the whole thing? 

I guess I will have to add more striped fabric to the ends so the waves follow through the design edges.

Hmmm.

It just may have to lie on the floor for a while until I think about it some more.

I Can Get Obsessive at Times

Sometimes, I just can't stop at one.

After making the first little singlet, I made 5 more.

Lucky I did!

Last night, to add to my latest great niece, Summer, is our new baby great niece Capri.

We met her after she had only been in the world for 4 hours!

3 singlets for her and 2 more for Summer.

The photos were a bit rushed, a bit like her birth.

In the mean time.......

I finally completed a couple of baby quilts for an order from a friend.

She has them professionally quilted and they took ages to get back to me to add the binding.  Together we designed and cut and I sewed.

I think this one went to New Zealand on the weekend.

And this one is waiting on a name to be added to it.

The backing was made from a soft synthetic plush.

I really liked the squares and their black and white borders but I wasn't crazy about the orange borders. They are very bright and happy though.

Lucky babies and Mums to have such a lovely and generous friend and lucky me to have been involved in the process.
