November 20, 2007 - Deegan's frog quilt
The time is drawing near when my newest grandson will make his appearance in this world, and that meant a giddy-up was needed on my plans to design and make his cot quilt.
If you have read previous posts you'll remember that his nursery is 'frog-themed' and I was to make a quilt that complemented that...so after dilly-dallying for a couple of months I finally found inspiration and starting drawing up my plan.
We're not a pastel kind of family these days so vibrant colours were used, colours that excite the eye and hopefully amuse the new bundle as he grows.
Ta da!
Here are some close-ups for detail -
Once I finish a few Christmas gifts for the rest of that arm of our family tree I shall be posting them, along with the quilt, to sunny Queensland. Thankfully we shall see Deegan, and big brother Calab, in April when they fly over to spend Easter with us...one of the downsides of living so far from loved ones - you can't just pop in and spoil the grandchildren! I think that's one of the reasons I enjoy making unique gifts for them: a part of me is with them always.
