Timmy's quilt


Timmy's quilt was slightly bigger than our normal ones so we could make a checkerboard in the center of it! On each end was a pocket (for keeping your checkers!) made from a pair of Dockers that had belonged to his dad (Andrew Garnett - also part of our InterVarsity Bible study group).

Machine pieced, some serging on the outer border, hand tied at every other interval, polyester batting, fleece backing.

Notice Owen again helping us out!

Ellie's quilt


For Matt's cousin Nathan's first child, we used the same flannel backing fabric that we used on Peter's quilt, but did something fun on the front - no serging, but lots of pockets! We also did a fabric gradation with the colors of the denim.

We did NOT tie this one, but essentially machine quilted it with the pockets with polyester batting (probably 4 oz).
