I get by with a little help from my friends!

A quilt for a baby; not a baby quilt!

Barb McCormack showed me how to stack and rotary cut – a scary process but so much faster than cutting individual pieces of the same size from different fabrics.

Pat, my partner and colour-blind colour advisor, helped arrange the blocks.

Lainey and Trevor at Galena Bay Fabrics helped pick out a border that didn’t match anything, but somehow seems to work.

I made use of Alice McCallum’s tip on cutting border pieces just a bit wider than the finished size so they can be trimmed down.

My sisters, Stacia and Deloise, taught me the framed border technique.

Shirley Houle brought a lovely quilt to the Guild’s Show and Tell and I copied her quilting design!
