A friend asked me to make up a quilt for her to give to a little girl..... she liked bold pink and brown, wanted horse panel and also puppies and flowers.....
It is needed this month so I have worked hard to get it finished in time... this is what I have come up with....
the horse panel pictures were 12" so it was an easy way to work out to do the other blocks 6"
I quilted around the big applique daisies and added squiggles and freeform daisies in the blocks... in the horse blocks I quilted around the horses and then some wavy sky....
... stripes in all the colours made up the perfect binding....
I did struggle a bit with what was asked... I'm not used to making it all up on my own but I rather like the finished result....
Righto, Gotto Go... there is some secret sewing to be done.....

Congrats on a VERY special finish.
