Hoot hoot hooterville

This is my 3rd version of this quilt, the first one for my Grandies, the second for a friends grand daughter for Christmas last year, and this one is for a friend to give to her sister who is expecting a baby. 

Gill asked me to make this for her well before Christmas last year but said she was in no real hurry for it.  So naturally I went made and purchased all of the fabric and traced a few owls and then tucked it away in my sewing room.

Then I realised it was April and I had better get a move on with it – where does the time go?

I backed it in a lovely soft flannel and used a pretty stripe for the binding.

It is shadow quilted around the trees and owls with a loopy all over stipple on the rest of the quilt.

This quilt was on my to do list that I compiled at the beginning of the year, so now I can tick it off as DONE.  IMG_0043

I love owl quilts. Yours turned out so cute.

I just had to have this pattern when it first came out but I haven't made anything from it yet. Maybe once my UFOs are finished I can start one.
