A small diversion
I needed to do something fun and for me, well, mostly for the wee girlie. I've admired what this talented lady does for a while and thought why not? A lovely simple square patch quilt in fun bright spring colours.
Just a small quilt, using fabrics only from my stash and simply quilted in the ditch.

But for good purposes.
You see it's an old pram (made when 3 wheelers were a new thing), a hand-me-down that has been oh so useful but in desperate need of jazzing up. In winter it has a sleeping bag (which can be seen here, gosh wasn't she small back then!) for keeping little bodies very warm and snug, but it's spring and I wanted to capture it in quilt form. So to speak.
And the quilt-as-you-go dream? It's still there, and I'm going to make a start.... soon.... honest....
