Strawberry Shortcake Cot Quilt

I'm putting together a little quilt using up a fat quarter pack which I already had which I think was called "Strawberry Shortcake". I just decided on a simple patchwork pattern to show off these pretty fabrics, with a larger centre panel with teapots and shortcake.


I love the little teapots.

 I've decided to freemotion quilt it. It has thin polyester batting inside,and I chose a pink check for the back.

Free-motion quilting.

It should be finished soon and will go into my etsy shop.

I picked up these fabrics for a song from Spotlight a while ago and have finally made a quick little quilt. This little quilt measures 96cm x 108cm or 3'2"x3'7" and is made from 100% cotton. It contains 100% bamboo batting which is luxuriously soft and is machine washable. Wash with mild detergent on a gentle cycle.

This quilt is for sale in my etsy shop.

Rainbow Receiving Blanket
I have decided to put this little shawl up for sale in my etsy shop as a receiving blanket when complete.

Invisible cast on in scrap yarn.

The yarn left on my ball of Kauni was diminishing, so I decided to cast off with an 8 stitch garter border, I cast on the 8 stitches with a piece of scrap yarn (invisible cast on) and just continued knitting on to that. Once I have gone all the way around, I will join it up with kitchener stitch.

The start of the edge band, using an extra needle.

I continued with the yarn from the main part of the shawl, it just happened to turn purple straight after the blue.

Progress with the band so far.

The band takes quite a while to add. All of these instructions can be found in Elizabeth Zimmermann's book, "Knitter's Almanac".

Finally hemmed and put the buttons on. Pattern is Burda 7670. Fits really well, will make another one in a plain fabric.
