This is "Patient Pete." More than 12 months ago, I was cutting up heaps of chenielle that I had been dying, and then cutting into squares and sorting them all out. I had heaps of scraps on the floor and Pete asked "What are you going to do with those bits Mummy?" Of course this led to him designing his own quilt and me off on another unplanned project. The quilt top was made in double quick time and then it has just been kicking around the sewing room - waiting - waiting - waiting.
Last week I got busy and backed it, quilted it and bound it.
"Oh what a Feeling!"
Now I have plans to do another that has been waiting - waiting - waiting!
Look out UFO's - your days are numbered!!

Love the colours in that quilt Annie, I just wish my UFO's were on the way to being finished!! I just keep getting sidetracked. Lol
Annie, I am sure Patient Pete thinks it was worth the wait. It is GORGEOUS! And it does feel so good to finally get one finished that's been lurking about, doesn't it?
You are on a roll...clear the boards for a new project for the sewjourn weekend...
Love the colours in the quilt! Looks like you have an up and coming designer on your hands!!
methinks 'Patient Pete' may have a new career in modern quilt design!
What gorgeous photos of patient Pete! And what a fab quilt - it just looks so snuggly and cozy! I love that green fabric you've used.

Hi Annie- Thanks for visiting! I love the quilt and your blog! Will be back often. Un beso-Jane
What a beautiful quilt. He did a great design, and he looks quite pleased! :)
I think you can safely say he likes it! I love all the colours in it and the chenille looks really soft and cosy
: )
That's so sweet! I love the gorgeous colors in Pete's new quilt!
Brilliant Annie! Hopefully you are on a roll. My son would love the snuggliness of chenille too.
It's gorgeous! Maybe Patient Pete will decide to sew the next one himself, after seeing the good things that come from your sewing machine. What a perfect way to head into winter - with a cozy quilt.
That is so gorgeous!
