pikey but productive

[elegentry]

I have big pikey trousers on today. Well actually I am wearing a skirt. However I said I would go dancing this afternoon. I didn't 'cause amongst the pikey thoughts I wanted to finish this:



This is the pieced top for a cot quilt for my nephing- weeT. NOT easy to get all the 156 little squares in the right places! I swear I spent as much time unpicking as I did sewing. Unpicking is slower of course.  One wrong bit I didn't find until I thought I had finished, set it up for the photo, looked through the camera...and then said bad words. Deep breath, more unpicking and it is now finally done.  Next is to layer it up with fluffy stuff and backing for the actual quilting process.

So, what do you think? Does it look appropriately masculine even though it includes chopped up sunflowers?

Go you! A lovely quilt.

Funny how those mistakes are more visible through the camera. 8->

Pah. Masculine/feminine means nothing to babies. Colourful is all that counts and it very much works on that count.

Crankmaster loves pink and frequently requests his hair in a ponytail right now. And also loves trucks, diggers and forklifts.

He's going for both stereotypes at once....

Its a wonderful riot (but a well organised riot) of colour - everyone will love it! And nothing wrong with having the odd day wearing big pikey pants - we all need them occassionally :)
