After I did the stitch-in-the-ditch around the squares I knew it needed something more, but not free-motion. This is for a baby and I didn't want to weigh it down with heavy quilting. I decided to quilt roughly 1/4 on each side of each seam. I love it. It creates a neat little pattern and the quilt remains light.
The back looks really cool too.
I also made 2 tea wallets. One for me and one for a friend. What do you keep in a tea wallet?
Lady Grey of course.
I also made a tissue "wallet" for the same friend. This is the first time I had made one and it was so easy and quick, I'm thinking everyone might get one for Christmas. They're little and light to ship and who doesn't need a tissue every once in a while. I used the bright fabric so it would be easy to find in the bottom of a purse, hopefully.
Onto the goodies! This box overflowing with selvages is headed off to someone special. There are some other surprises underneath the selvages but she'll have to wait to see those.
For me! Time to get busy making some more selvage crafts. My bag is full too. Your baby quilt turned out really nice.
