Sew and Tell Friday


Baboo Quilt
the front
the back


The Baboo Quilt has entered the building, and brought a couple of fabulous pillows along. Ain't they purty? Feminine, funky, vibrant and colorful. I love the log cabin pillows. I see many more of those in my future. This quilt is large enough to use as a coverlet on my daughters double bed or to wrap herself up in whilst reading Jane Ayre or Little Women. Oh, who am I kidding, whilst on the computer or watching The Hills on TV. In any case, it will cozy up her room nicely, making it warm and comfy and maybe even a little groovy!

    Oh yes, both the quilt and pillows are pretty! I love the big and bold dots on the backing and pillows.

  2. Awesome! My 14yo daughter would love that quilt! She has a special fondness for zebra stripes, so the binding is most definitely groovy. lol As is the whole quilt! Great job! :o)

    You should get her Jane Eyre - once she gets into it, she might surprise you! I love that book!
