So here it is (and I love it!):
The fabrics are a combination of my market finds and some polka dots from Rolls and Rems. The borders are Kei Honeycomb in grey and Klona cotton in ash. The binding fabric is a cotton from Dalston Mill; just how much does that look like a Liberty print?! I may be binding everything in that from now on. Machine quilted with organic* lines. Binding is hand sewn and the finished size is 46" x 50".
This quilt is just for me although it received the absolute highest accolade when Ruben stroked the back and announced it was "sof" (that means soft for those of you that don't speak baby...) so I may have to share it with a little one. But that's ok.

Hi there- found you through the hop and am a new follower. Congratulations on your finished blanket. It looks wonderfully cozy! I hope you have time to follow my life in South Africa by http://withoutcomplexities.blogspot.com
I hope you have a great week!
It looks great! I'm saving my quilting challenges for when we move as there is this amazing fabric shop down the high street and I want to get a fabric stash together before starting. I'm also tempted to handstitch one. Just because with my 18 month old who doesn't like loud noises and a baby on the way for Xmas I doubt I'll be able to use a sewing machine for more then 20sec without someone crying lol
I also a quilter and quilts that are not wonky aren't real quilts. Looks great
Your quilt looks great! Isn't it amazing how many different patterns you can come up with for HSTs? And I love that Kei Honeycomb! Good stuff!
I absolutely love this! Really lovely selection of fabrics, and that binding is delicious!
