Velcro and Quilting.

 I have done one of these pairs so far, just as a test to see if it could be done. They liked my work and so I am replacing the Velcro on these arm pads for my sons' Dojo, 20 pairs to go. This is all hand stitching as it is way to thick for the machine.
A request from my niece for a single bed quilt for her daughter, she loved the ones I have made for the charities and would love a quilt for her daughter.

Cot quilts

 I have been busy for the last couple of days cutting out 6 inch squares and 2 inch strips for the K.Mart Wishing Tree baby quilts. I had been given some fabric last Saturday, some large pieces and some off cuts and made the most of all the bits.
 I then assemble them into blocks like this.
Final quilt top.
I plan on making quite a few of these.
