Quilt number 3

This is where it went a bit wrong....friends of ours had a baby boy and I thought how nice it would be to make them up a special quilt. I used a variety of different blocks and even added some applique to personalise it with his initial 'A'.  Sadly I neglected to realise how similar some of my fabrics were and how a block might be good if used in multiple blocks without borders but on its own....well....I ended up sewing swastikas into it by accident - fabric with similar hues meant the pattern emerged without me realising! I am aware that the swastika was previously had a good meaning but the modern associations weren't really suited to a baby quilt. I did finish it off but this one is staying at home for my son to use.

No pictures this time, I would not like to attract the wrong attention to this site.
