My new granddaughter was born on Tuesday, she’s gorgeous of course! She’s called Polly so I quickly finished her quilt by embroidering her name on the back.

Last time I posted about the cot quilt I had just finished piecing and sandwiching it…

It’s backed with a pretty daisy print, similar to the main heart fabric. I decided to do a simple meander round the quilt, though I did my usual with these quilts of starting with a heart in the middle. My meandering still isn’t perfect but it is improving, some of my stitches are a little big but I haven’t got as many wobbles!

I used the main heart fabric for the binding which makes a pretty edge. I usually try to follow a line of quilting on the back for the labelling, but there wasn’t a suitable one so I’ve just embroidered the details in the corner. I used a mid pink as I didn’t want it too bright but it’s such a busy print that with hindsight I would have been better with a darker one…not that I thought of unpicking it!!

We’re hoping to go round at the weekend to meet the new arrival and hopefully have a cuddle 🙂
