Mini's London Quilt

Mini’s favorite place in the whole wide world is London. He loves visiting it, loves reading about it and sleeps in a London themed room. So when it came to making him a quilt (my first one ever) it had to be London themed. I have had this fabric and the deciding for this quilt for over six months thanks to Kelly, but have discovered that cutting fabric is my kryptonite I just can not bring myself to cut it at all. Knowing that I had to get past my fear, I booked in for a sewing class. I go two hours a week on a Tuesday and the quilt was my first project.

So finally Mini has his quilt and he loves it. I made it over 5 weeks mostly at class and with the support of some fab online buddies too (yes you Katy and Justine, who listen to and answer all my insane questions).

I am really pleased with how it turned out. It is the perfect fit for his cabin bed and he loves it, which is all that matters.

Oh and I have already started another one and me and Maxi are on the lookout for the perfect fabric for his quilt.

Your CommentsIt is brilliant (from a Londoner) I hope you have watched that slightly soppy film called How To Make an American Quilt..
I’ve started one but it is taking a while……three years so far..

That red binding is just perfect. I am so glad that it turned out well. It is the first quilt that I designed. Quite simple I know but it is making me smile. Can I pinch a picture for my blog?

Kelly » Feel free, I think that the design really worked well with the busy fabric, this way you really get to see what is on the fabric.

Read this with interest as I’m mid way through my first ever sewing project – a patchwork quilt! I’m making mine by hand – did you use a machine for yours? It looks lovely btw.

I love this! You’ve done such a fab job. I love everything to do with London and think if I had my own office it would be London themed like Mini’s room.
