I attended FNSI (Friday Night Sew In) with all my online friends last night. How did YOU go? Successfully... I hope!
I had previously made the flimsy, sandwiched it and partially quilted it, so last night I finished the quilting.... stitched on the binding both by machine and by hand... then hid the tails... so this morning, it's all finished... ooppss... still needs a label... duh... will do that tomorrow!
I used this pattern from KariePatch Designs called "Playtime". My friend HeLeN from HERE has used this several times and I wanted to make one also. Helen was very generous with her hints about the twist block! Thanks HeLeN!
The play rug is for a baby boy and it's called a Twist of Lemon. I've added play rattles and soft toys by removable rings for bubs to play with and the quilt measures 50 inches square. I quilted using "in the ditch" "cross hatch" "shadow outline" and some "free motion".
is because this ticks FNSI and My MonThLy MaKe group commitments...
yippee!

A big tick to you Cheryll, that is one great quilt with all the extra's for the bub to play with. It actually reminded me of our oldest child, I could put a rug/quilt down on the grass and she wouldn't crawl of it. Hated grass. I guess that is why now she has fake lawn in the back yard!!!
Happy days.

This quilt is SO cool! I wish I knew someone pregnant so I could make them one of these! Great job!
Yay, indeed! Lovely finish for the little bub!
What a fabulous play mat. Love the idea of the toys...
the Twist looks interesting too.
Great finish for a Friday night! Love the playmat and the extras of the toys, such a cool idea. That twist block is very tricky. It was lovely (virtually) sewing with you.
Nice work Cheryll, perfect colours for a little blokes quilt.
Cheryll that is just too cute - you did a wonderful job, girl!
What a cute playmat! Congrats on ticking. ;)
