This one uses blues left over from "Math Is an Expletive" so there wasn't much sewing to get the quilt ready. I did make a few seams but in no time the quilt sandwich was ready for quilting. I decided to add some extra batting in the lower left corner and quilted around it, making a square trapunto area.
Three buttons and a small loop on another side.
A piece of red cording with heavy knots on the ends to keep it from raveling and to add even more texture.
And sewn into the quilt is an old key. I was worried that it would be too rough for frail fingers.
The label is written directly on the quilt backing.
Linking up with:
- Crazy Mom Quilts (#138), where Amanda Jean has her beautiful "bright birch trees redux complete"--you've got to see this!
- TGIFF (#41) at Sew Fresh Quilts where Lorna has her equally cute "animal antics for Friday"--a giraffe love quilt that is an original pattern and stunning!

This is so cool - what a lovely way to honor your mum and help out others at the same time.
This is a wonderful idea. I had not come across these before, but can see how great they are.
What a sweet, sweet quilt! I had never heard of a fidget quilt. But I think this is a fabulous idea! Your finish turned out lovely and the label is also very special. Well done, Mary!
A great project. I like how details are both fidget functional and nice design.
Fantastic idea, what a lovely and meaningful project, so worthwhile. Well done.
