J's baby quilt

J is a very prolific patchworker, constantly turning out new pieces. Most of them are at least single bed size but this one is a special baby quilt for her new great nephew. This little man missed out on meeting his grandma by just two weeks as she, J's sister, lost her battle with cancer late last month. J used a simple stack n whack technique to make the blocks from the allover border print. I quilted it with 'wrought iron', a Fleur-De-Lis type pattern, using red signature thread. Little man's mum loves the Fleur-De-Lis and it matches the black, white and red quilt J made for them a month or two ago. J is a very generous crafter, creating special things for her friends and family all the time. I've known her for over 15 years and I feel privileged to be able to quilt her lovely work, I hope you enjoy this special one!
