It's a simple Disappearing 9-patch.

Just perfect for playing hide-and-seek in!

There is not much of a 'story to this quilt, but I love the colours and the overall finish of it. It came about at the suggestion of making a 'Rainy-day' Quilt. These fabrics were in my stash and were perfect for the job!

With simple stipple quilting in light aqua thread, it is a lovely quilt to snuggle under and a perfect  baby play quilt for a boy without being too babyish.

Gorgeous Quilt... You've done a fabulous job on it. It looks amazing. I know a good home for it - there is a little boy who'd love it!

The colours caught my eye - wonderful quilt. You called it a 'rainy day' quilt - the colour certainly speaks to that. Gorgeous young man in your life. He made a great model.

Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts.
