up a few times, and I bent one needle into a 'fish-hook', but I eventually got the thing done.
The actual panel was considerably longer, with two more full-size fairies at the top, and a bit more green foreground at the bottom, but my daughter was hoping for a standard sized baby quilt, so I cut the top two fairies off, decreased the bottom a bit, and used the extra fabric in the corners. All the matching coloured strips along the sides came out of my fabric stash. The backing is a small print of pink and purple pansies on a white background. The only things I purchased were the panel and the batting.
