Second of four completed! This is the cot quilt for the raffle at our show the weekend after next in aid of the local Radiotherapy Cancer Treatment Unit which is currently in the planning stages and all contributions gratefully received by them. At present people needing daily radiotherapy have to travel a round trip of over a hundred miles each day to Bristol - not pleasant if you're well never mind if you're undergoing that sort of treatment.
Slightly girly colours but would do for a boy if pushed
. I've mainly machine quilted this with flowers similar to the sunflowers on 'The Brute' but larger leaves and smaller flowers not as intensely quilted gives it a softer snugglier feel - better for a baby. As I'm absolutely useless at following the lines I've hand quilted around the outside of each butterfly and a spiral in the centre of each flower. Right onto the group 'Moon over the Mountains' quilt next - binding in navy blue which will need good light and definitely my glasses on :o)

Confession - the extent of my machine quilting is a straight line (sometimes) and a stipple meandering move. Anne, this is beautiful and on a regular machine. What a gift for anyone. You've made we want to practice. It's like I thought the only way to do quilting like that was with a long arm. good---no--GREAT job.

Super quilt, I love the colours! I'd hate to give this away but I'm sure it will be appreciated.
Lovely! Those butterflies are so sweet - I though they were hearts - then I saw the butterflies - CLEVER! & the quilting is so appropriate for the quilt. Bravo.
Pretty pretty pretty! I hope your quilt raises a lot of money for such a good cause. Your quilting is lovely, thanks for posting such a great photo for us all to see - I need to practice with some flowers like that. I can't draw to save my life so following a line is more a part of my comfort zone.
the quilting looks great! I'm still trying to master "in the ditch" with my domestic machine... :-)
Excellent job with the quilting! The actual quilting and picking the perfect thing for the quilt! Both are super!
