50 th Birthday Quilt



Just finished a new quilt for  a good friend for her 50th Birthday on Mother's Day. Lucky her 2 special events on the same day. It is the same design I did for another friend 2 years ago. This time I used Moda charm squares inside of a jelly roll.  I did find it easier to make the triangle shapes. Blue is her favourite colour. I thought I had along time to make it . I should of started it last year. I also hand quilt as well. I manga to finish it on time.

I have a pram quilt to make next for her grand daughter's pram . That should not take long.
