The Little Man's Quilt

I would of liked to have left this alone - with no borders but the finished size was too small.

I had been umming & urring over what to do with it, trying various fabrics that I had to hand. Then I found this lovely car border fabric in my local quilting shop. (I had only gone in to buy some thread as it is the only place locally that I can still buy Guttermans since JL stopped selling it)

I think it finishes it off a treat! It was quite expensive - so I just bought enough to go along the longer sides so I couldn't mitre the corners. I have some other wider pieces with a landscape print on them left over. I may use them to make some pillowcases/cushions. I have got a plain red cotton for the binding on this one (and possibly The Little Fella's).

To quilt this one, I am going to "echo quilt" along the zig-zags, possibly in yellow thread, maybe red.

I have posted about this quilt earlier on my blog
