I spent a lovely hour or so outside today under our Archgola finishing the hand stitching on the binding on a baby quilt. It was nice and warm, the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. Gemma was outside with me, watching those birds intently who were perched up on the neighbour's roof, no doubt wishing she could get closer to them and show them who was the boss! It certainly was a delightful slow stitching Sunday.
The quilt started like this, using up some leftover flannel to make some easy Cobblestone blocks. Gemma found them nice and cozy too when I was arranging them on my “design bed”. .
In the beginning
I stitched the quilt blocks together, pinned the layers and then did the machine quilting between other projects.
Pinning the layers
I always enjoy the final stage, hand stitching the binding down. Such a nice job this is, especially on a lovely day when I can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air while finishing off this last stage of the quilt.
Binding time
With fleece on the back of the flannel top, this is a nice cozy little cot quilt indeed. Another one for the donation box.
All finished

Another finished quilt, Gemma approved! Great way to use those blocks and sewing the binding in the sunshine, a perfect way to spend the day! Gail at the Cozy Quilter
It's a beautiful quilt and is going to be much appreciated I'm sure. I think my stitching outdoors days are over for this year it's getting pretty cold out there. Have a lovely Sunday.
It is cute and cozy, Jenny. So nice stitching the binding on and enjoying the sunshine and nature.
Have a wonderful week.
That is an adorable quilt. The flannel makes it warm and cozy. So glad you could sit and stitch outside in the nice weather.
Very cute baby quilt, this is a great donation quilt. Happy stitching!
Lovely Blue quilt finish!! Nice that you got to sit outside to stitch. a bit too cool now for that here--our days are drawing in and soon it will be Winter here...the deer have found their way to our yard and are munching greenery as they go...hugs on a lovely sunny Sunday here...

What a sweet and cozy looking quilt.
Oh so nice! Both being outside on a lovely day, and hand-stitching to finish yet another donation. It's really nice to see how you appreciate your days, your time, and share with others. The quilt looks very cozy and will surely be enjoyed.
A lovely cosy baby boys quilt…
What a cute quilt and I love the quilting on it. Always good when a quilt is Gemma approved.
I’ve never put fleece o the back! Is it difficult to quilt? Looks so cozy! Very boy-like!
Stitching outside sounds lovely, Jenny! We're heading toward colder weather here, but the birds are still very active so it's definitely fun to watch and listen to them. I love your little cot quilt! What size do you make those blocks?
A beautiful baby quilt, well done.
A lovely finish Jenny and cat approved too.
Lovely finish. I haven't stayed in one place enough this week to stitch outside. Happy stitching!
What a lovely donation cot quilt. It will be so very cozy, and as Gemma passed approval on it I know whoever gets it will enjoy it.
God bless.
It’s turned out very nicely and I’m glad it passed the snuggle test.
No that sounds like a great way to spend a Sunday! And Gemma obviously agrees.
What a lovely quilt for a precious little guy!
Marvellous! I love your little sewing box!
Thanks for linking up to Slow Sunday Stitching!
