for an early baby.
Inspired by Jane's hamster quilt ( that has to be the luckiest hamster in the world ).
Measuring 18 x 26", and using whatever fabrics were closest, it only took a couple of hours to do.
Just strips of fabric, hastily sewn together, and a bit of ribbon and lace here and there.
It's not perfect,
It's certainly not straight.
But, it's ready to take to a baby who decided to arrive a couple of weeks early.
Thank you for the inspiration Hugo.
I think it's lovely, so pretty!

Love it! I have a fear of quilting, but I think if I tried something smaller like this I might get over it. I mean, it's so adorable!

I love your works, you always use such bright and lovely colors! Beautiful.
Posted by: Marieke | January 07, 2006 at 11:33 PM
It's beautiful. I am so in love with the fabrics (the pink paisley is delightful!). It only took you a few hours to make? Good golly, I would be fidding with it for weeks and would then give up out of sheer frustration. When I grow up, I wanna learn how to sew like you do! =)
Posted by: Shell | January 07, 2006 at 11:51 PM
It's bee-you-ti-full!!! I'm impressed! Yes, I too want to sew just like you!

Posted by: Linda | January 10, 2006 at 02:52 AM
So cute! And I think it's perfect! And that hamster quilt is really something amazing! Puts my dog quilt to MAJOR shame (but I guess not really since the dog loves it)!
