ta da!


co-ordinating backing
Originally uploaded by imagingermonkey

I finished the baby quilt kit I got from Saffron's website. I even followed Fi's tutorial for the binding and did the quilting, then washed it, and dried it, and then stitched the binding on. I liked it...it seemed a bit of a weird way to do it, but I'm converted. Hoorah for Fi.

Now I need to have a baby....HUSBAND, come here, get busy!!!!

;)

Right - the links...I'm at my Mum's, and just did that post via flickr, so I can't figure out the links, so here you are;

Fi's blog for the binding tute

Saffron's website for the hand printed fabrics. She has a sale on the elephant panels too, $8 a panel instead of $15, and that's Oz dollars too, so us Brits get a good deal on the exchange rate. Plus there are pink, blue or red elephants to choose from. Go on, get yourselves off...

very cute!! I had a quick look at the binding tutorial and am feeling skeptical about washing the quilt before binding but it might be worth a try.
Now, go get on with making little ginger-monkey people to enjoy that gorgeous quilt.

*Andi washing the quilt before you bind isnt manatory, i'm such a dodgy quilt maker i like to get things square before i start:)

That quilt is fabulous. You must keep this one and leave it lying around the house and bellyache about, Where is my baby?, to husband. He'll soon oblige, as a crafty whinging woman will be hard to take. I'll now be taking myself over to Fi's blog. I need major help in the binding department.

There was a lot of dirty talk in this post. I think you may need to give yourself an R rating for suggestive content.
Love the quilt.
