A friend has become a grandmother (my generation is already too old to become parents).
Her daughter loves pink and purple, therefore the baby gets a pink and purple quilt - luckily it's a girl  :-)

I had found this pattern at Pinterest: Phoebe Moon. I can change the size easily to babyquilt-size.

I tried something new for the cotton-batting. Until now I sewed the batting scraps by hand together. I have a straight stitch-plate in my machine and I'm too lazy to change the plate.

I can sew neat bindings on a quilt and I can combine the two ends of the bindings. No problem. But my corners? Horrible.

Then even Elaine Theriault wrote that after so many years she finally understood how to sew mitered bindings - only she didn't show HOW.
