Peter Rabbit Pillow

This is the last part of the Peter Rabbit Quilt and Pillow tutorial. 

As you can see ALL DONE!!!

 

 First Round of Crochet

Second round of crochet

Preparation for making the puffing of the little square
I chose a green fabric that matched the colour of the last round of crochet, Also used the thread to do the hand quilting of each little square.

1. 

I press the first two sides of the backing

After stitching the first  three sides of the first corner square 

I inserted the cotton batting which is twice the size of the square then folded over, with the back of my crochet hook. I then wiggle it in place with a sewing needle from the right side.

Should you have any questions just put it in the comment section of this post.

Well I managed to complete the quilt last night.......

I so enjoyed the creativity of it all.

 A pillow with 12 of the the squares would work well. 

Three squares up by four squares across.

Have put the brain in neutral for today and am crocheting a 

little mat in the same colours for next to the bed.

I will do a diagram of the crochet edge far easier 

for me to make you all understand the stitches.

After that I will do a little pillow.

Happy Knitting

I will have to check the crochet stitches that I used,

as I have used American terms in the past.

I did a little embroidery on the front and decided less was more...

The Peter Rabbit Quilt is taking a lot longer than I thought.

I am stitching around each square while listening to the book 

"The Name of the Wind" love tales of magic  

Each square is stuffed with a little cotton batting.

You need to leave the outer edge squares until last, as you will have to turn the lining in at the edges before they are stitched.

Can't say my stitching is very neat at the back, maybe have to do it differently as in knitting a back for the quilt.

Part Three

 Do you think it looks carroty enough.......I do!!!!

Just wondering now if it will drape over the cot or bed.

PLEASE click on the picture to see the quilt more clearly.

Enjoy

I have managed to complete the sewing up of the squares and have started on the the crochet edging.

I am so happy with the edging as it looks a little like carrots 

with the green edging looking like the tops of the carrots.

I will give you the pattern for the crochet edging tomorrow

I plan to embroider some carrots in bullion stitch  onto the yellow squares.

Kind of enjoying this little bit of creativity for children.

ENJOY
