This is a cot quilt, 24" x 28", that I made in December for the baby son of a lovely former pupil, Leah McLaughlan (now Collard), who has kept in contact with me on Facebook after having moved to Queensland as a youngster.
Baby Benji was born in November and Leah was happy with whatever I wanted to make, so I dug into my box of fabrics that are already cut into 2.5" squares and made a heap of four-patches that I then laid out diagonally in colour-ways.
The quilting is simply straight lines on a diagonal for half of the quilt, then switching direction on the other half. The backing is a geometric animal print that has been in my stash for a while and inspired the colours on the front.
