Baby's first ABC

One of the ESL teachers I work with is about to go on maternity leave so I was given the job of doing a quilt top for her farewell present. One of the other ladies at work is going to be do the quilting.
Purple is her favourite colour, so it was the perfect choice for the background. We're all quite sure the nursery will have a strong purple theme.
Layout took a long time. I think it was because there were two lots of three items. It didn't look right when they were completely symmetrical, so I kept moving and moving till it looked better. Originally the butterfly was going to be the only addition, but in the end I had to include the snail to keep it a bit more balanced.
