Two weeks ago my friend, Nastasja, gave birth to a little boy called Noah. Since I found out she was pregnant I've been intending to make a quilt, and once I found out she was expecting a boy, I was able to buy the fabrics. I went for some Robert Kaufmann Flannels and a pattern from a Fast and Furious quilt-as-you-go book. Except I didn't quilt as I went. I pieced, layered, stippled and bound (in that order). I wasn't sure about the fabrics for a while, and it wasn't until I heard he had been born, that I felt the urge to cut up the fabrics. And yesterday evening I finally finished stitching down the binding.
I haven't always liked this quilt, but now that it's finished, I happy enough with it.
Now I need to package it up and send it off.
Oh - and after another 6 Raspberry and white chocolate cakes, 6 gingerbread loaves and 6 lemon drizzle cakes, my baking mojo, rare at the best of times, has deserted me. Mum is still at it - she has made 8 coffee and walnut sponges, 7 chocolate sponges and 6 coffee sponges (on top of 8 fruitcakes she made last night)! But the shortbread just aint gonna happen!

I love the quilt you have made for your friends little boy. The fabrics are fantastic and I love the quilting.
