Flood Relief Auction #2… Baby Quilt
I wrote the other day about the floods we have
in Queensland at the moment.
I am auctioning this cute flannel baby quilt as well.
It is approximately 34″ square (87cm)
It is machine pieced from quality 100% cotton quilting flannel
and machine quilted in my smoke-free, pet-free home.
It is machine washable on a gentle cycle.
It could be used on a crib or cot,
or as a play mat on the floor.
It is small enough to roll up and take out and about,
and a good size for a toddler to play with.
The binding is also flannel in a pink and white stripe,
and the backing is this cute garden and letter print.
What a lovely little quilt and well done for your auction efforts.
Thanks, Handmaden. Hopefully we'll get a bid soon – $50 is a bargain for a handmade quilt.
This is such a wonderful idea, and such a great cause. I really do wish I was in a position to help more. I've stumbled this for you and forwarded it on, though. I'm sorry I can't do more.
Thanks Gina – every little bit helps get the word out for my auctions and the others going on at the moment.!
I bid $50. Gladly start the bidding!!
Thanks Andrea!
