Resistance was Useless!

I was at my favourite fabric shop buying batting,

when I saw this.....


and of course it had to come home with me!


And it wasn't long before I had a plan!


It involved a little cutting...


and stitching...


and before too long I had a pretty pieced top...


This will become a baby quilt for a friend's Summer baby!


It is a simple free pattern from "Oh Fransson"!

Sometimes one needs some instant gratification! 

(Yes, I did change one of the prints for something from my stash!

Does it look better?) 

Happy sewing!

    It is fabulous! The perfect quilt for a baby! Isn't it fun to have one of those projects that is finished quickly? Very nice fabric selections too!

    Oh so cute! I do like it very much without the zigzag print. This is a great baby quilt.

    Great sewing. After admiring the lovely fabrics I have to admit I was surprised to see them being made up. Most people aren't that quick with their new fabrics. The colours are so cool and pretty for summer and design shows them off so well.

    Nothing like an impulse buy when making an instant gratification project! It looks great, I'm sure that little summer baby will love it too!
