To market, to market... Market Folk is finished!

As we enter another cold Canberra winter, I thought it was time to finally finish a quilt I started for Sofia some time ago. And now, I'm happy to report that my version of Market Folk by Cinderberry Stitches is finished!
My finished Market Folk quilt (design by Cinderberry Stitches)
I personalised the centre block
I didn't think it had been sitting in my unfinished pile for that long... until I started looking back through my blog posts to realise I've had it ready to be quilted since October 2016. Oops! Part of the issue was that I couldn't decide whether to machine or hand quilt it—and apparently it took me over 12 months to decide!


I ended up hand-quilting it, and once I got started (with a good movie on in the background) I was surprised how quickly it came along.



Being quite a little quilt, it didn't take long to then sew down the binding. In time I'd like to do a label for it, but for now it's headed straight for my baby girl's bed ready to keep her warm on these cold nights we've been having!

Sofia loves her new quilt!
Until next time x
