I made this little flimsy up last year.... I used a charm pack of Little Apples .... and made blocks using the disappearing 9 patch technique....
... there is a tiny bit of yellow in some of the blocks so I picked that out for the sashing ......
... found this pretty minky bobbly fabric at The Quilters Angel for the backing....
I didn't add any wadding but I did use some fine iron on vilene on the minky which helped a lot to stop the minky stretching when I cross hatch quilted to hold it all together
It is a lovely soft and cuddly quilt....
Another UFO out the cupboard and a completed project ..... yippee
Righto, gotto Go.... I think there are a few more UFO's skulking in the back shelves....
Dawn and Wendy who co-host the Sew It's Finished Blog have been giving us lovely little stitcheries to make into blocks as incentives to finish our UFO's....
.... these are mine so far ....
maybe I'll do the May stitchery for the next FNSI which is hosted by Heidi this month
Go HERE to link up and sew with us all - I always seem to get lots done... maybe that's because I take part in both the southern hemisphere and northern hemisphere fridays???!!!

I love little Apples & the yellow sashing is very happy. It must be very snuggly with the minky, good idea with the vilene. I have looked at a minky backing but thought - too hard! Those stitchery blocks are gorgeous especially in that pretty fabric range - yum, yum, yum! Tracee xx
Looks fantastic Bubz...love the stitching...
So cute Fiona and the minky is a perfect choice for the back it will make it super cuddly.Your stitcheries are looking great. hugs Sheila
A cheery little quilt :)
Your 'Seasons Of' blocks look great together.
I always seem to be busy for the FNSI ... see how I go for this one.
So do those stitchery blocks count as a UFO?
Lovely little finish and the Minky goes perfectly.
Enjoy deciding on the next UFO to finish.
Great little lap quilt and will be snuggly and warm on a chilly day. Great stitchery too.
Cute little stitcheries! Your quilt looks cosy and warm, just right for winter.
I don't need to tell you how much I enjoy your stitchery...and your little quilt is adorable!
I love your little quilt, the yellow sashing is very bright and pretty. Your stitcheries are lovely too! xx
Lovely little quilt Fiona, your bright sashing finishes it perfectly. You are such a good girl getting your SIF projects done each month and then getting the stitcheries done as well! Happy FNSI later in the week ....
Great progress Fiona. Love those little stitcheries too... fit perfectly with the colours in the blocks I think!
I'm in FNSI too... so I'll see you there! :)
I love your new quilt and those little stitcheries.
Gorgeous and very summery feeling about that little quilt. Love your stitcheries.
I'm finally makin my rounds! I love this little quilt!
Yay for finishes! Sweet little quilt (yummy colors) and lovely, lovely stitcheries.
the yellow sashing looks great with the little apples fabrics. Such a pretty quilt. The minky will make it so lovely and snuggly.
