Welcome to AnkaDankaDesigns – easy cot quilts
My name is Anca Tilea and I love making cot quilts for snuggly babies and at times single quilts for cool kids.
I’m on a mission to create a large number of cot quilts - and you may wonder why … it all started with a dream I had back in 2007 … But wait, I’m getting ahead of myself – I wrote more about my dream on the About page if you’d like to read it – please do pop over there >>
I’d like to share some of my baby quilts with you in these little videos I’ve made – I do hope you enjoy them, and if you do, I’d love you leave me a comment or send me a message.
I also love to sketch designs suitable for baby cot quilts just like this little elephant – you can see I also have an elephant in the top banner for my website – yes, you’re right – I do love elephants 
and this is a sample of the fabrics I work with:
Cot Quilts - materials I use
I like to find ways to make quick and easy quilts by playing around with different coloured and patterned materials. You can find the most amazingly beautiful materials these days. I then let the material be the focus of the quilt whilst using an easy design. This reduces the complexity of the quilt. However I do get sidetracked at times, such as with single quilts when kids grow up!

Cot quilt gallery
I’m putting together a gallery page where you’ll be able to follow my cot quilts, do take a look at all the cot quilts I’ve made so far. I hope that I can help inspire you to make your own easy cot quilts.
