Hannah's Quilt

Phew...better late than never! Finally finished Hannah's Alphabet Quilt last week. I'm quite happy with it except for one thing...and no, you don't need to start going through the alphabet lol. It's the colour of the blocks on the lower left...they're the same. Luckily, it works because the whale has water moving from one block into another and distracts the eye, and any 'religious' quilter, and I mean that literally and with no disrespect, will tell you that there must always be a mistake in any quilt so as to be less than perfect...only God is perfection! SO, there's my deference to the Lord above...my error lol.

I only used scraps, which are still overflowing from the container I might add. OH, and I snipped the binding AT THE FRONT....got that HOT flush of adrenalin when I did it! NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo! Well, being the Queen of lean and having learnt the 'waste not, want not' adage from my depression raised grandparents, I decided to put tabs on it to cover the snip and make it a wall hanging. Unfortunately, cot quilts have a limited life with children so this one will live longer as a wall hanging AND be a 'poorly rug' for her beautiful Hannah to cuddle . Her big brother Jude has one I made for him as a baby too.
