Peyton's Quilt

When I first heard DD2 was expecting a girl, I thought about some of the lovely pretty fabrics sitting in my stash and thought they would make a lovely "pretty" quilt . . . Alas, DD2 is not a girly girl and she wanted a Toy Story quilt for her little one....

We found quite a few Toy Story fabrics - cut 6.5" squares - she selected the borders for each (from the stash) and the panel made a great backing - with added cloud fabric.



So, those pretty fabrics will have to wait a bit longer.

The Toy Story quilt is nice but I think Chooky’s idea is great.

I know what you mean, lots of today's mums are not into the pretty baby fabrics, but chookys idea is a good one

I am plumping for Chooky's idea too! Nice finish though. xx

I see a girly quilt being made for when she comes to visit grandma.

Wonderful quilt Susan, maybe one day she might like a girl quilt.

Awe. That is a fun quilt! Using a panel for the backing is brilliant.

It may not be a pretty pretty quilt, but better to be one that is loved and therefore used. It looks so nice and cheerful. Fabric doesn’t go off, so the pretties will wait their turn.
