Patchwork Quilt Cover....tick......

Hey there...quick post today to share the finished, that's right, c.o.m.p.l.e.t.e.d. patchwork quilt cover I have been sewing away at for my daughter. I really loved making this...I love sewing things that ARE NOT clothes...they don't need to fit around oddly shaped body parts and, in this case anyway, there wasn't even a pesky pattern to follow. Just pretty little squares, some more square-ish than others I will admit, to cut and then sew together.....

                                                                             

For the opening end of it I decided to just sew up a few ties and use them...I'm liking those pretty bows....

                                                                               

And for the back I used an old white valance that was sitting unassumingly in the linen cupboard and chopped it to size....worked a treat!!

                                                                                 

Most importantly though...my daughter loves it..phew!! She is a real rainbow girl so this, I think, is perfect for her.....

                                                                                 

I would now love to have a go at quilting however I will be buying pre-cut squares for that one.....apparently one needs to be very exact with all that...hhmmmm, could be a worry for this slap-dash girl......

                                                                                   

So...there we have it....another project down.....7398 or there abouts to go....

Enjoy your Wednesday yes?!!
