Retrospectives - Baby Quilt for Alessandro

At our class today we discussed posting pictures of our retrospective quilts - quilts we have on our beds, lying around on sofas, or, heavens, maybe even acting as dog blankets to very special dogs...

Here is a baby quilt I made for a good friend's son Alessandro. You  may recognise it from our blog header. It is a scrappy quilt with 4 inch squares, 9 by 13, so it's cot sized. Cutting the squares took longer than sewing it together, and I really enjoyed making it.



The backing is a soft green vintage cotton flannel and I shadow quilted it a quarter inch from the seams. 
Oops! Skew stitching on the corner of the binding which I machine sewed. 

Cute little foxes, bears and deer, not to mention elephants.


Bernina alphabet stitches did the name really well. Alessandro is being kept warm in his quilt in Melbourne.
