There are a few pictures mainly because I am so darn proud of this baby. My quilt photography skills on the other hand could use some refinement. I think I had a little too much light? I did the binding in linen. All the blocks are hand quilted and eventually I want to add circle quilting to the middle square, but I am prepared to do that gradually. I really love the blocks with the pockets on them, and so does Caleb - he is already squirreling his goodies in there. He got to sleep under it last night for the first time and told me that it brought happy sleep. My absolute favourite part though is the 'sweet dreams beautiful boy' embroider on the binding - it is the last thing I say to him every night. And Caleb absolutely loves it which makes all the time, pulled muscles (who new stitching was exercise) and calloused fingers worthwhile. Did I mention that I have already go the fabric for Poppy's quilt too, but I really have to do some market and summer sewing first.

Well done! It looks great and "happy sleep" is a wonderful result too!
Its fabulous Cindy! You've done such a wonderful job. I bet Caleb adores sleeping under it.
(PS. I don't think your photos have too much light ... I think if you look closely you may have a two year old's fingerprint on the lens! I have seen the same effect on my photos.)

hi Cindy, I have tried to reply back to you the last couple of days & it keeps coming back. not sure why, the email address is right.
Ooh that's gorgeous! Congrats on finishing, yay!
Oh it's lovely Cindy! You're very clever!
Cindy – it's gorgeous! You must be chuffed to the moon and around and back. Particularly since Caleb is right there with you. Funny how it's always about the details too. The embroidered stitchery nails it for me too.
