Needles the Hedgehog

This is "Neeldes"!  
A rainbow of spiky fun.
A baby arriving in September will be wrapped up in this little quilt.
The design wall was both a delight to enjoy, and super helpful putting Needles toether.
Lots of pinning to keep the seams matching well.
The quilt goes together pretty quickly!
On the longarm frame, getting quilted.
Such a sweet face!
This happy backing (Henry Glass Ombre Circles) works so nicely with all the colour!
Binding from the backing material - I still made this bias binding, to stand up to lots of washes.
Hanging on the clothesline for some photos in the sun.
This pattern is one of Ira Rott's amazing designs.  Her patterns are glorious - so well illustrated.
The digital design is "Sparks". 
Quilted with Hab 'n Dash Glide White thread. 
Batting is Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Select loft for a light and airy finish.
