Twinkle!

I am feeling very happy! 


I have finished the Twinkle! baby quilt which I started in September last year and is one from my list in Rhonda's Finish-A-Long! [Linking up with Rhonda!]






That means I qualify already for entering a prize-draw!  Yipee!






It also means that I can now hand this little quilt over to the baby's mum, before baby grows too big for it - Phew!   This cutest little baby is enjoying lying on her back and will endure lying on her front for a little while so I hope she can put it to good use!  I will be handing it over on Tuesday!











I FMQed hearts all over it and this time there were no little pleats,  still a bit of difference in the size of my stitching but I think it is getting better!  





I also machine stitched the binding on - first time for that!  It's not perfect but     it is a beginning...







The backing is purple with unicorns on it - I hope she likes it ! 








 Purple with unicorns on it - how could she not?  Grin!


And lastly I FMQed the label....












The baby it is for is certainly a little star in the making...maybe her mother will let me post a photo?

  9. Beautiful quilt, Nicky! Your FMQ looks fabulous! I attempted some hearts the other day in a different way and they looked horrible, but the way you've done them here looks much more heart-like. Mine were more kidneys...
