I have Just finished making this cot quilt for my 1st Grandchlid who in due at the beginning of December, 2009. My daughter loved the sea creatures, so I incorperated them (including the alphabet around the outside) into this bright & cheerful quilt. The mum-to-be (my daughter) loves it & we are pretty sure that Sam will too... when he arrives.

It took me 2 months on & off to make it, I made it in these colours as & know that babies love bright colours... & so do I, lol. Because he's a Summer baby (we are in Australia) I used a light weight white throw rug I bought, which was big enough to stitch the quilt top to. So It is soft & warmish underneath, yet light weight on bubs.

Thankyou all SOOOO much for the lovely comments. *4U all.
*******Chris, I got 3 sets from designsbysick.com
I became a member so I could download ALL their sets instead of just getting bits & pieces of different sets from their freebies..lol. It was at a good sale price when the Aussie $ was about the same as the US $, a few months ago.
I only try to get memberships when they are on sale or I can afford them... as I am a pensioner (youngish one) & when the Aussie $ is going well, then I consider it.

Oh, just found where I got the "Sea Horse" from... It's from Amazing embroidery designs, another place i got a membership. It did come with swirls in the background, but I didn't do that part... just went to the seahorse start part.
Sorry, the others are from the other site.

Hi Reggie, this is gorgeous. You are right the colours are so bright and beautiful - I am sure your new grandson/daughter will love it. Great use of the alphabet around the bordertoo.

By the way, where did you get that great Seahorse design?

Love and blessings Chris

Sorry just read it was for Samuel - so it will be a grandson! Lucky you knowing what the baby is already. Our son's 1st baby is due late October and we don't know - will have to wait till it's born before I can finish off the quilt I've made from Tubby's designs.

Love Chris
