Friends of ours are expecting their first baby, and Ash asked me to make them something baby related for Christmas. The result is this, the 'Daydreamer' lap quilt. The idea is that the mum to be can use it as a quilt while she's expecting, and then once baby comes along it has thick enough padding to be used as either a cot quilt or a playmat on the floor.
The patchwork stripes are remnants of upholstry style fabric that I bought last year in a market in Totnes - I loved the cream, gold, blue & brown colour combinations but until now had never found a project to use them! These were cut & stitched together in stripes.
The clouds themselves are padded and then were quilting stitched onto the stripes background. Then I pinned the wadding and backing fabric to the front, created a border around the edge and stitched (very slowly!) through the whole lot.
