A few years ago my cousin, who used to work in the fashion industry, would occasionally score some sample fabrics and pass them on to me. I never complained. It would have been rude to do so.
The best of the lot by far was an excellent pile of shirting material; the moment it arrived I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it... of course it took me a couple of years to actually do it, but that's a story for another day. Perhaps I need therapy. Who knows.
The quilt is made of simple 6" squares with flashes of solids here and there. (48" by 48', enough for a little almost 6yrs old).
And a bright red binding.
The very thin wadding combined with the smoothness of the fabric makes this quilt so light and soft that it's a real pleasure to use.
I'd like to take full credit for this design but I must own up to the fact that I remember seeing a similar number a few years back and haven't been able to forget it. I can't say who/where/why/how, and if anybody knows I'd like to give credit where credit it's due... It was so long ago I can't even say how similar or how different this is.
In the meantime, No 3 is very happy with it and that, after all, is what counts.
