It never fails...when I have something I *should* be sewing (i.e. deadline-related), a different project cries out for attention and piques my interest. In this case, it's a baby quilt that I'm making for the friends who received the Urban Lattice quilt I recently finished. The baby boy was born in August (I gave them the wedding quilt a year late; trying to be a little more timely with the baby quilt).
And if you're wondering why a quilt for a baby born in August isn't at the top of my to-do list...well, this is the SECOND baby born in August who will be receiving a quilt. I'm just a little stuck on the first quilt idea. And I'm finishing a Halloween tutorial. And my do.Good Stitches blocks for October.

Anyway...
I had these fabrics from a Blue Underground 1/4 yard roll I'd bought a few years ago and hadn't used yet. Love them!
I started out swimmingly by sewing the wrong side of my initial piece to the center strip:
(I think it's only fitting that my photo of my mistake is blurry...don't you?)
Then I got back on track and finished my first block:
I've got 5 done. I love how fast these go, and how carefree they are!
Now here's my question. Do I just stick with the mocha and denim fabrics, or do I throw a little green in there for variety? I keep going back and forth. I love just the mocha and denim alone, but then I think maybe the green would add a little pop. I'd love to hear your opinion!
Linking up to WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.
Being a fan of green, I think a little green added in would look great.
ReplyDeleteI like the green but I'm really into blue and brown right now so I would keep the green out. It's still pretty though, so I think it's just what you prefer.
ReplyDeleteJust a splash of green would be cool. I like the green that is top row third from the right. IMHO...;)
ReplyDeleteChecking on my quilts.....there seems to be a theme to my quilting. A rule if you will. ALWAYS PUT IN GREEN! So there you have it.......A little green, please.
ReplyDeleteNo I like the denim and brown... And it would be easier to decorate the room with it, becasue they could decide what acent colours the room would have.
ReplyDeleteE xx
I think both combinations are pretty but for me the green adds oomph!
ReplyDeletenice choice of block!
