Chocolate and Strawberries

Mmmm I hear you say. Well I think so!!

I was asked if I could make some "real" patchwork baby nursery items in pink and chocolate brown.

I found a selection of Moda fabrics that matched the brief.



After cutting out 200 squares(!!), I cracked on making the crib coverlet, cot bumper and comfort blanket (taggie). Halfway into the project I was asked to make a matching cotbed coverlet for the baby's big sister!!

I found organising the layout and machine piecing definately speeded up the process. They were all backed with pink fleece.

I have some left over fabric so I make a quilt to keep - or even sell (how cheeky am I!!??)

  4. I am so pleased with the set. My daughter loves the coverlet but I am tempted to just keep it for new baby. Thank you so much Leah!
