In your face winter blahs.
You have not yet managed to deplete all my energy reserves or surpress my drive to make stuff.
I present the finished rainbow farfalle baby quilt using mostly thrifted pillowcases with a bit of Amy Butler thrown in for good measure. In the end, I quilted in the ditch as a free motion quilting foot was a special order (and long wait) for my humble little sewing machine. Baby size quilts are such a satisfying project - not too big to be intimidating or time consuming, but perfect for a whimisical and (relatively) quick quilting fix.
Based on this tutorial from Film in the Fridge.
beautiful... i love the pops of color!

I didn't even have the winter blahs and it made me feel great! Beautiful.

Oh this is a design I've never seen before - I love the little tantalising triangles of fabric and the backing. Beautifully colourful and cheery for autumn/winter.

Hooray! Nothing more blah-fighting than a beautiful, finished quilt. And rainbows never fail to be happy, do they?
