The Lydia Quilt

This is my first hand-quilted baby quilt. It is also my first attempt at embroidery.

Materials:
cotton quilt panel
self-made quilting cotton binding
cotton batting
cotton flannelette backing





What I learned from this quilt: When doing embroidery, I should use a stabilizer. It turned out ok, but you can see some puckering towards the leg of the elephant. I am hoping that washing the quilt helps even this out a bit.

My favourite part of this quilt: The quilting itself. I quilted with a neon green Coats thread, which pops against the softer pastel colours of the panel
