Mani's quilt

Mani's quilt

I was asked to sew a quilt for a girlfriend and decided to make it for her 50th birthday. Unfortunately I didn't get it finished for her birthday but I don't think she'll mind if it's a little bit (well a lot!) late.

This is only the second quilt that I have sewn on the machine. Machine sewing is definitely a lot faster than hand stitching! I've sewn the top using a quilt kit and have added extra fabric to make the border. I just have to put the quilt together and will machine quilt it using a shadow stitch around the blocks.

A wide border helps make the quilt  a bit bigger.

Charlie just had to try out the top of the quilt
