Bo's Rainbow Triangles Cot Quilt

Since I posted that our little Bo had been born, I've had so many messages and mails from you all, asking how he's doing and how I'm feeling.....  Thank you SO much for caring - and for being such lovely, lovely blogging pals!!!

We're all doing good!  Simon's been back at school (work) for 3 weeks now.  I was REALLY spoilt having him at home with us for almost two months over the summer holidays, and dreaded the start of term.  But being 'home alone' with Bo has been fine.  He's a good boy - he doesn't cry TOO much, and has settled into a pretty predictable routine.  I have to admit that I still haven't managed to find the time to do any crafting since he was born.  But I'm working on it..... ;-)

So, today's show-and-tell is about another project completed pre-Bo.  This is the quilt I made for the cot in his bedroom:






And here's a sneaky peek at the quilt IN Bo's bedroom (another blog post, coming soon):


This quilt is the first I've made from triangular pieces.  I found sewing them together a bit fiddly at first (I had to do some un-picking because my rows were wonky), but it got easier after a few goes!  

When I'd finished it, I was REALLY pleased with how it looked!  In fact, I think it's probably my FAVOURITE EVER make!!!  :-) 

Which of your makes are you most proud of???

Until next time.....

  1. Gorgeous quilt and looks very smart in Bo's cot ....an explosion of colours! It looks smashing against the clouds background. Wonderful to hear you and Bo are doing so well and settling down to a routine.

    Happy Times!

  2. LOVE the quilt! Seriously jealous of your color and pattern skills! Umm, I can't wait to see the rest of Bo's room, because if it is even half as cute as those clouds in the pictures, it must be super adorable!
    Glad you are all doing well, have a great weekend!
