For a first attempt at quilting, I would call it a success (for the most part). It's not perfectly squared and there are puckers and pulls all through the jersey squares of Sadie's baby clothes due to a sewing machine, a lead foot and a lack of skill. The rest of it though, is exactly as I'd hoped.
Hand quilted affirmations of 'brilliant', 'kind' and 'sincere' are stitched into the purple. The binding was sewn and painted by hand, lending it all a certain hand-made romance.
And if that weren't enough of the old-fashioned, a good part of this quilt was made while listening to the lovely voice of Elizabeth Klett readJane Eyre to me over the iPod.
It made for a warm and peaceful experience and one I hope to repeat again and again.
