Baby quilt finished…almost

The baby quilt I have been making for my sister in law’s new baby girl is officially finished. Over the back end of the weekend I got the quilt assembled, machine quilted and all bound. So, officially the quilt is finished – phew!!

All I have to do now is embroider a label for the back of the quilt. I’ve not embroidered anything in years and I’m not sure I was ever any good at it, but here goes anyway….

Does anyone have any advice….do you tend to hand wash a quilt again before you give it as a gift? I suspect I know the answer already but your thoughts would be appreciated
