Nid yw hi'n hyfryd?!

That's Welsh for - 'isn't she lovely?' And this little Welsh baby is adorable. Her name is Tanwen (= white fire) ... a beautiful name for a beautiful baby.

I started making this baby quilt for her just a few weeks ago and it came together really quickly once I had picked the fabrics. The fun fat quarter was new and the rest (including some Riley Blake spots) came from my fabric stash:


Once I'd chosen the fabrics, it was easy to make a design with 16 X 10" squares:


And here is the top:


Quilted with my favourite free motion quilting:




A metre of daffodil fabric on the back - the daffodil is national flower of Wales so a perfect choice:




And, saving the best until last, some 'action shots':
