    Default Gerald has found a new home

    I made this a little while back for a friend's little girl who had to share a room with her brother, so nothing too girly. Had just completed it when she said she didn't want it anymore as her circumstances had changed, the little girl had her own room and was desperate for something pink and very girly. Was going to put it down to experience but when I showed it to another friend she said she wanted it because her little grandson loves animals. There was something about the quilt I wasn't happy with so today hauled it out and concluded it was the binding that was wrong. Have redone it in the safari print and now quite happy with the results. So little Tyler is going to find Gerald tucked up in his Christmas stocking. The pic is a bit dark. It's quite a gloomy kind of day here in Aberdeen. [ATTACH=CONFIG]449715[/ATTACH]

    You have made a beautiful quilt. I love it. The picture is perfect too. Some little one is going to love it.

    Gerald looks great! Quilt is superb! Was getting ready to send off a tied quilt at the end of the week (so there would be someone home). They decided they would like it machine quilted. Ugh!!!!

    Gerald and his pals are adorable. I'm so glad he has a home.

    Tessagin some people just don't understand the work involved. You are a mucher better person than I am my answer would be oooops it's in the mail.

    That's such a shame. I was a bit tempted to say you can't! It's to late! But didn't have the heart as I knew the change had come about because of a bereavement and would've felt bad saying no. (tessagin)

    I doubt a binding could ruin a wonderful quilt like that, but I'm glad you're happy with it and that it has found a wonderful little boy to cuddle with! The color combination is wonderful!
