For some reason that seemed to make perfect sense to the mother of said pink-obsessed five-year old girl at the time, the decision was made to hand quilt this KING single sized quilt.

And so almost a year later the quilt was finally finished just hours before the pink-bordering-on-purple-obsessed five-year old girl turned six, and was placed on her sleeping self to find in the
morning.

And then it was forgotten when the pink (and purple) cupcakes appeared.

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous and very lucky big six year old birthday girl. The quilt is divine but I reckon the best birthday prezzy of all is that she gets to keep her own birthday to herself. xx Thanks heaps for your message lovely, it meant a lot.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt, oops i better get my socks on...i need to make one for one who is turning 3 this September. Your fabric choices are divine!
ReplyDeleteYou're so clever Mel!! It's exquisite!
ReplyDeleteI love that Liberty border (excuse lack of quilt language), I have some of that Liberty here and I cannot seem to cut it yet!
