Just look what the big girl made for her tiny cousin!

I can’t believe how beautifully it’s come up.

She was reluctant to try something new but once she started playing around with the fabric it came together very quickly.

All about the speed she certainly wasn’t interested in the quilting so that was outsourced (to me).

She’s enormously proud of it so I think the next one will be quilted entirely “in house”.

    WOW!

    Well done on all fronts.

    The patchwork top is sensational.

    The quilting is a triumph.

    So impressed xx

    Love it! She should be very proud – and mama did a good job of the quilting too. You're going to get less access to your machine now you know.

    Absolutely fabulous! And yes, im a fan of the show. She is going to need her own machine sooner than you think Kirsty.
    My boy was all about the speed with his shorts the other day too and I gave in to do the 'faster' bits :)

    Wow, it's beautiful – she's done an excellent job on both the design and construct – I particularly like the name patch and the colour combination.
