Happy Customers

In a rush (!) to get a kid's quilt done for a friend's son who was visiting yesterday, I resorted to my 'cheater's binding' again. I will show how to do it in another post (if you're interested). With only a few days to get it done, I thought I'd just quickly do 'my' binding again. In fact it's so quick I managed to put the binding on 3 kid's quilts in 2 days with another kid's quilt ready to be pinned...

Here's the 'gift' quilt... (sorry a bit blurry - I blame the quilt-rack LOL)


Here's the 'happy customer'


We had gorgeous weather today so we went outside and made use of our 'entertainment centre'...



Both boys had to have an afternoon nap after that! Here's DS1 under another quilt I finished this week

This will be a spare travelling quilt with the purpose of story-telling from the 'I-spy' pictures.

I too would like to see your quick binding method please. Also, can you tell me the measurements for the snowballs (and triangles) on those lovely quilts. They look a good size for showcasing great prints - and fast completion!
