I'm finally able to share my finish - hip hip hurray. A scrappy patchwork quilt - no fuss!
Such a joy to make, this one. After much thought, I backed it with a purple butterfly print, which a colleague from the office kindly gifted me some time ago.
Simply quilted in-the-ditch, and bound with a black polka dot print, which I think frames the quilt beautifully. It measures 40" X 50", so is a generously sized baby quilt, but works beautifully as a lap quilt for those rainy TV nights (something we're getting a LOT of lately in this part of the world).
I'm having fun playing 'I spy' with the prints : baby strawberry shortcake...
Some Japanese zakka, err, stuff...
Oranges (and lemons)...
Even a hidden princess...
Postage stamps...
And of course the cupcake in the corner...
Love!
Have a happy November!

Thank you so much ladies for the lovely comments.
FarahLin - I've a looong way to go to get to your skill levels... something to aspire to!
Mamikelate - please try it! Scrappy patchwork must be one of the easiest, most enjoyable things to tackle...
MamaD - I'll be waiting for your next finish, whether it be sewn or crocheted :-)
Love the idea having polkadot binding.. congratulation zara on your quilt finish :)
This is simply tooooo cute!!!!
Love the fact that you don't have to worry about tone or theme.. any small scrap would do.. I have been meaning to try making one using knit fabric.. you see I have bags and bags and eerrr more bags of Sofea's old clothes tucked in nook and corners.. I've given them away, recycled them but they are still everywhere... so this would be perfect.. now if only I can find someone to cut all those pesky lil squares for me.. hehehehe
