Project 4 Patchwork quilt is Complete

Well its 99% done!

It has taken a while as obviously I can only do it at night time when Izzy has gone to bed.

I didn't make it as a traditional all in 1 quilt, mainly because I wanted to be able to wash it at home, and with it being the size of a double duvet it might not wash well if it was like that.
Instead I made it like a duvet cover, it has the patchwork layer, then a cream cotton layer and then the other cream cotton layer - so the duvet goes between the two cream sheets. I did this becasue I didn't want to risk the stitching on the patches being damaged when putting the duvet in and out. The duvet was a double 4.5tog, I only had to trim a small piece off the one side for it to fit.

Here are some pics

Project 8 - Nappy inserts

We use cloth nappies so I had a go at making an insert for them, I used bamboo velour for the topper and then bamboo terry for the rest.
This one is a 'super' as it has 8 layers of bamboo terry!
Again my kam pliers aren't here and it needs a couple to snap into the nappy and a one to hold the fold up. I have done it long like this rather that all stitched as bamboo, being very absorbent, takes a while to dry if its very thick.

Project 7 - Cushion covers

Tonight I made two huge cushion covers (24"x24" cushions) for Izzys room, at the moment they are pillow case style as my Kam snap pliers still haven't arrived - will add the poppers when that gets here. They won't look so baggy then.

The fabric is so soft - its gorgeous!

I also made a couple of mini cushions for Izzys dolls!
