Jo's quilt

After much hard work by many people, I finally finished Jo's quilt! I delivered it to her today and saw gorgeous little Otto.

It seems like a long time ago that I was collecting some of the finished blocks at the Maternity Coalition Xmas pizza party at Bruce & Erika's:


These were the washed fabrics for the sashing and binding, which Jo picked out:



Thanks to everyone who gifted some lovely scraps for the posts:

Little Otto was asleep when we arrived today. However I got these lovely photos of Jo and Simon with the quilt:





It was an absolute pleasure to coordinate this quilt for Jo, to honour her as a dear friend and fellow activist. I also loved sharing my newfound love of quilting with you all!
