My nephew and his wife have just had a baby girl so I decided to make a quilt for their new baby.

I chose the Charlotte Quilt pattern by Erica Jackman of Kitchen Table Quilting because I had seen a few quilts made from it at the Great New Zealand Quilt Show in Christchurch and I was keen to try it myself.
The pattern can be made in a random fashion, or a carefully planned out version and of course I chose the more complication version. I managed to get the strips weaving correctly on this baby sized quilt, but I wouldn't try that method on anything bigger. I had to keep checking back to ensure I had the blocks up the right way and the strips were placed correctly.
I'm really pleased with the finished quilt. Hopefully the baby will still be happy to use it when she is 3 or 4 years old.
