Default Purple Chevrons Quilt for my granddaughter.

I made one in blues for my grandson, and for hers, little Miss 3 year old wanted purples. All went together fairly well though I did struggle with the look of the backing during quilting but it seemed to sort itself out once the entire thing was quilted and washed. But oh, dear imagine my dismay when I was washing it in the bath and my hands found..ouch...2 flower head sewing pins stuck inside it!! I'm so glad I found them before giving it to my granddaughter...goodness knows how they got missed. My relief soon turned to dismay when I realised I was going to have to cut 2 tiny holes in the backing to get the wretched things out. Deed done, holes darned over and I will be able to sew the quilt label over one of them....lesson learnt. Thankyou for looking.
