What a thrill it is going to be this month for those families receiving these lovely quilts - there are so many amazing ones being created. Must away and finish the quilting on mine.

Perhaps if I had a larger, better machine but it's such a bloody struggle with mine it sucks any joy out of it that I might be able to find. I'm looking forward to seeing yours though, you always make such nice things!Hazelnutshttp://www.hazelnutgirl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-37454423363111099972012-04-01T17:04:44.686+12:002012-04-01T17:04:44.686+12:00I've been back to look at this several times t...I've been back to look at this several times to study your quilting haha. You've done a great job - I had great plans for mine, but I just don't have enough patience to do anything fancy.

That's the great thing about sewing though, there are so many different things to do you're sure to find something that suits your personality! Hmmm...

She did a 6-degrees of separation experiment and had to reach someone in New Zealand and we managed to make the connection between them with 3 people (is that 3 degrees?). <br />I like the contrast of white with other colours - either bright or neutrals. It really makes them shine.Hazelnutshttp://www.hazelnutgirl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-77518394277073698712012-03-28T22:35:33.010+13:002012-03-28T22:35:33.010+13:00You know, I never noticed the circles and geometri...You know, I never noticed the circles and geometric thing - thank you for pointing it out!Hazelnutshttp://www.hazelnutgirl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-61288281947295050142012-03-28T22:34:47.894+13:002012-03-28T22:34:47.894+13:00These quilts have to be able to stand up to that l...These quilts have to be able to stand up to that laundry system too - no wool batting etc. Although I gather the Wellington NICU has little quilts too I don't remember them from my visits, but it was so overwhelming that really my only memories are of how small and vulnerable the babies looked.Hazelnutshttp://www.hazelnutgirl.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7750720746807403757.post-13511959544482234992012-03-28T22:33:24.880+13:002012-03-28T22:33:24.880+13:00Thank you!

I can't find the adjective but something that sums up the clinical (in a fresh hygenic way) of the white with the cheerful splash of colour is what I'm grasping for.
