Sophie is Finished!

The cot quilt I've been working on for my friend's baby (due next week!) is finished!


The back - Sarah inspired me to go with large quilted wiggles!


The colours look a bit washed out in these pics, but in reality they are bright and vibrant.  

This isn't a big quilt, only 38" x 40" and I only used half the Sophie Layer cake.  I hadn't enough pink for the backing, hence the strip down the middle made from the leftovers, and my leftover Kona Azure I used for the binding wasn't quite long enough either, so I added 2 strips from one of the remaining 10" squares to make it work.
All that remains is for little one to enter the world and then I can make the label and post it over to England.  Wouldn't it be funny if they called her Sophie!!

And this morning I rustled up a few more change tray sets for my Dad and Brother in Law for Christmas. 


Well the sun is shining, it's baltic outside, but warm inside - aaahhhh! 

I'm off to have a bite of lunch before deliberating over what else to make Mum for Christmas!

See ya later!

    Sophie is beautiful! How did Scruff get there? A. has similar dog - his wears full Household Guard regalia, bearskin helmet and all - so the one in your pics is really Scruff in the buff! Anyway, totally beautiful baby quilt - may it be a blessing to your friend and her new addition when she arrives!

    Very nice wee Sophie blankie - I like! :)
    It would indeed be funny if that's what they named the baby. It is a really lovely name!

    It's such a cute quilt! I love how the wiggles sort of make the squares look like jigsaw pieces!! Glad to know you're warm and toasty indoors :)

    Your Sophie quilt came out just lovely-- and I love how you displayed it in the photos with the stuffed dog-- too cute. I'm amazed at how quickly you whip out all these presents-- before lunch, no less! The change trays are a great gift.
