Hello

Bassinet Quilt!

March 13, 2008


Hopefully the person who is going to receive this for their super cute baby is NOT reading this. I reckon she’s off snuggling her newborn…. or some such niceness.

Despite a hefty list of things to do – I REALLY wanted to make this today – and I did. Awesome fabric from Nuno-Plus and Spotlight. Vintage Fabric binding made with the wonderful CLOVER bias tape maker. No batting as I wanted it to be able to be squished in a bag and toted around town.

It’s not perfect.. as I’m new to quick-quilt-land. It took about 2 hours. I heart it.

Yippeee!

    Love the quilt! And I would have to agree that making bias tape is addictive… especially when you realise how easy it is. I have two different sizes and use both lots.

    Oh Pip it’s really lovely. I’m sure the mumma & the bubba will treasure it always.

    Oh curlypops! You must email me to get your soupy prize! I bought mine on eBay – but they have them at Clegs in the city – and the BIRCH ones at Spotlight. I got the blue Clover one that says 25 on it – i guess that’s 25mm. It’s ADDICTIVE making bias tape, i tell you!

    That’s a beautiful quilt. I have about 20 metres of fabric destined for the same fate. Where did you buy your clover bias maker and what size do you think is easiest?
