Baby quilt finished :-)

I have rather neglected this crafty blog over the last 6-months or so. In 2013 I really had much less time for doing anything crafty like knitting or quilting. I think this is partially because previously I used to do a lot of my craft while I was bored while my ex watched crap tv shows, or as an excuse not to attend various car shows on weekends. 2013 was an awesome year for me in terms of re-inventing myself, finding more time for fitness and being healthy and happy, (which is awesome) but as a result my craft time was quite diminished from previous years. Hopefully I will pick up a bit more craft time in 2014 :-)

This quilt was initially planned to be a queen bed quilt for myself, but due partially to the change in my life in 2013, I decided to abandon this project, and instead realised that this fabric would make the perfect baby quilt with all the pastel colours and bunny prints. So I decided to make a baby quilt for a long time friend who lives interstate near Lismore in NSW whose 2nd baby was due in 2013. :-) My friend is awesome at sewing, and much more of a perfectionist than me, so I spent a lot of time on this quilt, and even had to re-do the binding as I wasn't happy the first time. I sent her this quilt for her baby Bonnie in the first week of January 2014 :-) This is the first time I have made a quilt for someone else, apart from the one I made for my cats.
