Background

27/02/2005 - This quilt was made for my sister's first baby. Both my sister and her husband are scuba divers. Because fish figure prominently in the decoration of their home, I thought this Ocean Waves design was appropriate. I wasn't sure if it was a boy or girl, but wanted to make a quilt that would suit either. It was only when I was ready to add the border that my sister mentioned she was decorating the nursery in lavender and yellow! I was thrilled that the colour scheme I had chosen would work so well, and then proceeded to add the borders. Charlotte loves the quilt, and so do her parents..
