One of my daughters is expecting her first babe in a few weeks. She hadn't been able to get it done yet so I took it home a few weeks ago to finish for her. She had gotten frustrated and after working on it, I found a few things to be frustrated about which relieved her a bit - it wasn't all her problem.
Getting those triangles sewn onto the corners of the lamb blocks was frustrating since there wasn't any way to line up the triangle
We progress.... The feet and muzzles are all stitched down and I am now ready to applique the fluffy lambs onto the background. I started thinking about the fluffy stuff and babes. I called my oldest and we decided that it should be all right. If I run my fingers through the fleece, it (the fluff) comes to the top of my fingers.
I am thinking of breaking away from the pattern a bit since the ears were supposed to be appliqued on the body. Using the fake-fur meant that the ears would flatten it a bit. I'm making them so they will not be stitched all the way around - they will only be attached at the top of the ear. It will be more dimensional that way, too.
It isn't a large quilt but it is a cutie. One of the lamb's fur is flying a different way which only looks like he has been leaping through the air.
The quilt is from Baby Quilts - Goof-Proof Instructions to SEW Three Beautiful Quilts by Ursula Michael.
