Birthday Quilt

So my Little Miss is 10! I cant believe it, which I'm sure every parent says! I was particularly touched that she asked me to make her a quilt for her birthday; I had recieved some vintage fat quarters along with my Snap Press, and also went into a swap, so was arranging them (in colours, of course) and testing out this pattern for myself when her request was simple- "One of those in purple please"!

 

  I enlisted the help on Instagram to pick the pattern (the left one); 

 and got to work! I managed it in about 4-5 days; Using the time she was at camp for layout and basting, and after she was asleep for the quilting.

I accidentally (no, really, it was)  used the same pattern binding that I used for this quitl; I love the coincidence, as does she!

And the full thing

and backing. My girl and I love fake moustaches, and  this print was perfect for the back. Some different quilting patterns gave it a lot of interest.

 A perfect fit! (Teddy approves).

'tache's.

I'm not a fan of facial hair at all, either on men or women, all the moustaches I've encountered are bristly and tickly. Plus my dad has one, can't imagine dating someone that reminds me of my dad!

But cartoon 'taches are the bomb!

So I asked my crafty friend Manda about some pins. She made me some earlier for another (still obsessed) craze.

God, they are cute!

Meeting the pin family. She added a little tiny ladybird pin as well.
