Great job and what a cute backing! That will surely comfort a child.

So adorable. I have a kit just waiting to be made. Time is short in this household, too.

cute quilts...looks great... :thumbup:

Wonderful quilts. The QFK recipients are going to love it.
Thanks for sharing.

I love these quilts. I've made two. Waiting for my third. Quilting gives me so much joy. It's a way to keep quilting without feeling guilty about the expense.

lovely quilt, it is kind of you to go to that effort!

The child that receives this quilt will be thrilled! The fabric and colors are so bright and vibrant. You did a fantastic job on this quilt.

great job, love the cheerful colors.

Too much fun!

Nursie 76 - well done with your child's quilt, it's perfect.

EightyLady - as you may know, hand quilting threads are 100% cotton and much thicker than machine weights - Coats and Gutermann sell hand quilting threads in Oz but I haven't needed a variegated one so not sure if there are any. Thinking of all the twisting and twining of several colours that goes into in making variegated thread I doubt there would be one strong enough for hand use.
