Quilt number 9 - Quilt as you go

This quilt is the one I made as a replacement to the one I accidentally made with the swazstickers, I was needing to get it done quickly so I kept the pattern simple and used the quilt as you go technique to make the blocks before joining them together.

 I also did a couple of panels of applique to make it more fun and personalise it for the child.

I kept this quilt as a modern style in soft colours, knowing the parents I thought this would be more to their taste than the original colour scheme I went for.

 The main pattern fabrics came from John Lewis, who have recently extended their quiting range at my local store - just watch out for the labeling, the other day I saw some gorgeous elephant print fabric that would have been great on a baby quilt that was hand wash only, seriously - who has time to hand wash baby quilts.

Kept the blocking and binding simple too. I did try for the first time to machine stitch the binding on both sides so I could get it done quicker. Unfortunately this ended up looking a bit messy and I probably shouldn't have tried to so it so fast on my first attempt.
