W.i.P. - Red Riding in Aqua

This is what I'm currently working on.


After finding out that my sister is having a boy I'd put this block aside but then it came to my attention that a friend who's having her little one really soon is having a girl. So I rescued it from the UFO pile, decided to make a cushion cover, and turned it into this little top.


I'm currently quilting it by hand.


Some of you know that I'm not overly fond of pink, so when I remembered this unloved leftover from the pixelated Kirby I thought this was a good project to reduce the amount I still had. Turns out it's perfect! Turns out I love it next to those aqua stripes and lagoon pindots. So much that I wonder whether I'll be able to give it away rather than stash it for when I'm having kids.. haha

I told you that I usually only give away things I really like. It can make giving pretty complicated...

  2. You made a pixellated Kirby?? O.O I have dreamed of making a Kirby quilt since I started quilting! Must get on that as soon as I have money for fabric!

    I just love that little block, too :) I like how it's girly but not super pink. I was never a pink girl ;) can't wait to see it quilted!

  8. Oh such a sweet quilt! The hand quilting is a lovely idea!

    Isn't a revelation when our inner quilter picks things that we might not otherwise like?!
