Fox In a (Set)

 

These four neonatal bassinet quilts were made with the leftovers from a cot quilt.  They all measure about 18" x 20" and have a fox print flannel backing.  These were donated to the neonatal unit at Southland Hospital at the end of 2025,

Minnie For Meadow cot quilt

 

This cot quilt was made in 2025 (yes, I am still catching up on last year's projects!) for Meadow, the new baby girl of my cousin's daughter Emma Dawson - Emma is a big fan of Minnie Mouse so I thought this set of Disney fat quarters (plus a couple of extra fabrics for colour variations) would be well received.


I used the pattern 'Jumping Jack' by Sue Pfau from her book 'Quilts From Sweet Jane' - it is an easy pattern and I have used it before (in 2018, and in n 2016).


The quilt measures 37.5" x 39". I quilted it on my Bernina Q20 longarm with diagonal lines and some zig-zag loops.  The backing used a sweet little bird floral flannel.


And yes, the quilt was indeed well received - here is Meadow (and also the family dog, named Minnie!)
