I am re-stocking some of my favorite quilts that have sold recently. I really enjoy making these baby quilts because despite the fact that the pattern and layout is to simple, they are bold, modern and very striking.
As you can see from the fabric selection, the colors of choice are green and blue, with a splash of red, yellow and grey. Pulling out fabrics is one of my favorite parts of putting a quilt together, but I always manage to mess up my stash in the most disrespectful way.
As Fresh as a Daisy - Robert Kaufman
After a busy week and even busier weekend, I am warmly welcoming the chain-piecing, the pressing of seam allowances and trimming back blocks. I am quietly enjoying the solitude; it's just me and the machine today.
That is what I am looking forward to from this coming up Thursday until Wednesday!
