Quilt Quality Tester

Here's my little sailor friend testing out his completed quilt. I've called the design "Sailor Suit". It's inspired by French children's sailor suits, as worn by Babar's cousin Arthur.



He's an extra large baby, so this is an extra large cot quilt. That means there's lots of fabric for secure tucking-in. I made it square so that when he outgrows his cot it can sit diagonally across a single bed. Or a double, if he keeps growing at his present rate!

It's machine quilted for strength, then hand quilted with name, birthdate and pictures. If you look carefully you can see Arthur's French sailor's hat- click on the images for a closer look.
