diy baby… Lily's liberty quilt (in progress)

I started a number of baby projects while I was pregnant and one of those was a liberty quilt for Lily. It will be a while until she can use it (I think the guideline is 1 year onwards), so I'm making it toddler sized so she will get plenty of use out of it.

The hexagons are a little larger than my last quilt, so it's quicker to sew together (though it's still taking ages). Each hexagon of fabric is glued to a paper backing and then the hexagons are hand-sewn together to form a quilt top.

I find this kind of sewing really relaxing and I like the fact that the quilt slowly takes shape after several weeks. I'm actually a bit further along than the photos show, but I haven't had much time to photograph it lately!
