Plus Quilt

I needed a gift for a colleagues little girl who turned one year old. I planned to take the easy way out and buy a gift. But after my visit to the store, I realized nothing compares to a handmade quilt. It just outshines anything you can possibly buy. So I set about whipping up a quilt under a tight deadline. 

Picked a very simple pattern, rummaged through my stack and found some girl colors and stitched it all up together. All in a day's work.

To counter the bright colors in the front of the quilt I decided to add a linen border and use light colored fabric on the back. This is a great way to use up scraps.

Quilted it in wavy lines on my Bernina. Love the texture this produces.

Bound it using a black & white print from Summersville by Lucie Summers. It contrasts nicely with the bright colors of the quilt.

Added a little detail

And viola done. I am sure it will be the belle of the ball ;)
