Its a Girl...quilt

Finally finished the binding on this quilt, its not massive but its big enough at 70 x 70 inches, so plugging away at the binding at night all takes time. Now doesn't this quilt have some zing too it?

I have used Paula Prass's Flora and Fauna range which I love, and a pattern from February 2010 American Patchwork and Quilting - Not quite cubes by Prints Charming.

The main body of the quilt actually came together in a weekend, and then I "pfaffed" about with the borders for a couple of weekends after that, and it has sat in the cupboard for a shameful 12 months + waiting for me to put my daughters initial in the corner...

On the back I have used up a lot of the left over scraps, and bits of pieces from the stash...

and of course a pillow for reading in bed!

And just for fun I am going to enter the pillow into the pillow competition over at Stitched in Color.
