I have been playing around making my KIWIs
I decided, with the help of the zoom ladies, what size my baby quilt will be. Also, the design has all been thought out now. This is where I started.
Blocks coming together laid out to work out the size
Enough blocks have been made. I am going to sash with scraps of pink - docket stitched sashings. A small white border.
Appliqué the name on a block for in the corner
I am using the soft, cuddly chenille as the backing.
And have chosen this stripe as the binding.
Once the design was chosen I was so excited. I just kept sewing all weekend.
Layouts changed
Receipt strips sewn into sashings
Lots of thinking, measuring and calculating.
Until I got this far and it was midnight.
Bedtime
I think I will be big stitch quilting this with some of mums crochet cotton.
Have a look HERE over at Angela’s for more pink work for the RSC May month.

Very clever Jo - it will be so snuggly soft.
Love your flock of pink Kiwi Jo and I like the grocery docket sashing. Mia and her family will love it.
I showed this to my husband, whose last name is Keyes, he said I should call the pattern the Keyes Kiwi….my MIL, who is in her 90s, and SIL agree. We all just had a picnic lunch together. I have been showing all the flocks of kiwi to them as they appear. Cheers, Louise
Such pretty pink Kiwis and the scrappy pink sashing ties it all together so nicely. Is Mia a Kiwi girl, by any chance?
Love it, well done. My favourite colour is pink & the kiwis are so cute. I also noticed the Matildas Own rulers & cutting mat ......we were down there yesterday picking up s roll of batting.
