Eight By Eight Quilt

I've called this patchwork baby quilt Eight By Eight due to the number of squares.

This square patchwork would work well as a baby or child's quilt or as a play mat or lap quilt.

The quilt is made up of narrow scrappy strips in strong colours and laid out to creaate squares and bordered with more narrow strips.  The backing fabric is a multicoloured modern design and I added a scrappy binding.  All the fabric is 100% cotton.

The patchwork has been quilted on the diagonal in each direction.

I made the quilt on a domestic machine and finished it by hand.

Between the layers is good quality Warm and Natural wadding.  The quilt is machine washable on a gentle setting.

The approximate measurements of this square quilt are 51" x 51" or 129.5 cms  x 129.5 cms.
