Fast Cars quilt

These Heather Ross cars were the starting point for this little boy quilt. Such divine fabric and so easy to match with some colour co-ordinating Honeycomb Kei, Amy Butler dots and Castle Peeps in the orange and blue. This is my first quilt using linen and I love how it blends with the other fabrics.

I used the split 9 patch method as seen over here and here. However I did add a few more squares, making it quite a large cot quilt. I guess it can always be used on the floor.





I hope our Friends love it and I'm sure baby Kai will love the cars when he gets a little older.

    I love this quilt....I've been inspired by all the gorgeous things you make and I'm going to try and make one for a friend who just had a little boy.

    The book on my pot cupboard is "Prints Charming" by Cath Derksema & Kirsten Junor, it's beautiful and inspirational....I love it!

    Peta, I can't contact you through email and I am so sorry I have forgotten about you. Most of my quilts I take to Killara Village quilts, I use Trena and she only takes a couple of weeks. I also know of one north west and in the Shire area, let me know where you live and I can give you some details.....thanks for message too.
