Showcaseing my Baby Quilt.

This is the day to post my latest quilt finish. I did not over quilt it keeping it soft. I used 100%cotton and a wool wadding for Wonkey Donkey baby quilt.
What I like about Wonkey Donkey quilt is that it is very colourful and research has shown that babies enjoy all the colours of a vivid rainbow and don't adapt to dim colours very well at all and bright colours attract their attention. All bright colours are a fan of babies.
Wonky Donky is a childrens book and in 2008 it won an Apra Silver Scroll Award for Best  Children's Song of the Year in New Zealand.

Jumping Donkey.



It has been a fun and funky quilt and a real pleasure to do for my friend.
The pattern is from www.hotpossum.com Wonkey Donkey.
Here is the Childrens book.
It is very funny and kids love it.
Now the Wonkey Donkey Video.


 It was seriously a very fun patchwork to do.
Happy Sewing .

The quilt has turned out so gorgeous, Jen. Congrats. Also the video is a crack up. Laughed out loud and I will show little Lilian when I get a chance. She will love it. Cheers Di.

What a fun quilt Jen, it sounds perfect for a little one to grow with. Love the Koalas in the gum tree, makes me very homesick.
