I have again used the Children at Play fabric collection by Sarah Jane, this time using the more boy orientated fabrics: rockets, bikes, kites and paper hats in the blue, green, orange and yellow color palette.
I have used numerous other prints in addition to the Children at Play collection, including a stripe print and several larger scale dot prints. Although I have generally remained true to the initial color palette I love how the overall feel of this quilt top has been changed by these additions.
I have also added a off-white border around the outer edge of the quilt and although it doesn't have great appeal right now, I do think it will look great once a high contrast binding has been added to finish the quilt.
I am keen to start quilting this one as I think it will add a little more interest and texture to these fairly large size blocks.
Thank you for stopping by,
Rita
Are you shifting from being the HST queen to the tumbler queen?

Love it and if I needed a boy quilt, I'd buy it! Perfect colors for a little boy!
ReplyDeleteBoy or girl I'd say!
ReplyDeleteLovely! It's hard to do quilts for boys because the majority of fabrics are quite feminine. I like the way you've gone with this. It's definitely for a boy but not all blue.
ReplyDeleteGreat colors!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Rita dear! Live those tumblers, and I can't wait to use that line!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt1 Any little boy should love that!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the binding. that will set it off perfectly.
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteLove, love it! Great use of colors and fabric!
ReplyDeleteAnother beautiful quilt! I am sure the boys will love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! I love how you added the red and white "floral" but it doesn't look feminine. Your use of color is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteHooray for boy quilts! (Yes, I'm a bit biased.) Love the blue polka-dots, too. Can't wait to see it finished. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I think I need to learn more about making blocks like this!
ReplyDeleteawesome! (as always) love the big blue dots mixed in.
ReplyDeleteOooh, will this have a panel on the bottom like the girly one?
ReplyDeleteAnother great quilt Rita. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love this line...wish we had it in the shop. Love those pinwheels and rockets and of course paper boats and hats!
ReplyDeleteTumblers look like so much fun...is there any trick to doing them?
gorgeous and I love the white around the tumblers - I've got one in progress and wasn't sure whether to use a solid around the edge but now the decision is easy - thanks
ReplyDeletePurdy! I agree, we need more boy fabrics that are not brown and blue!
ReplyDeleteLove it Rita. Tumblers are always great with boys. Love the coordinates you chose with the Sarah Jane fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThe additional fabrics are great!
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely! I'm sure most boys would love it.
