Well, since I have been working on contest quilts all summer and not able to post pictures of them (according to the quilt show rules) - I am re-visiting the Winnie the Pooh quilt I made for my grandson Broc last Christmas. (Oh no - time to think of Christmas gifts again!)
This is his third "Pooh" blanket and they are sacred to him. I didn't make the first one, but tried to make the second one similair to his first one as a spare when the other one needed to be washed. It was in lighter pastel colors - cotton Pooh print on one side and minkee on the other with, of course, a satin binding.
But when I decided to make the third one, I had this bright red Winnie the Pooh fabric and red minkee . . . so this "Winnie" blanket looks different! The difference did not go unnoticed by Broc - but was eventually accepted!
I had a lot of fun making it. It gave me a chance to practice my free-motion embroidery around the trees and characters in the print. I still struggle with satin binding - but finished it!
