| Chelsea took this beautiful photo! |
This afternoon Chelsea and I got together for a busy day of last minute Christmas shopping, pho-slurping, and quilt... quilting.
I finally finished piecing together the main part of my latest quilt top. I'm using two charm packs of the Wee Play line from American Jane (which were not easy to track down, by the way!). I love this line so much, and am sad that it's going the way of the buffalo. I used the Wild Thing quilt pattern again. I like the movement of the blocks, and the way you can showcase lots of different prints. I also used some different whites from the Bella Solids line and Kona. I wanted the quilt to have a scrappy, vintage look - like the quilt you find in your grandma's atticf, which you find out used to sit on the foot of your mom's bed in kindergarten, which has been pieced and patched over the years. Or something.
I'm a little stumped about what to use for the border and binding. I'm thinking maybe some Kona Ash for the border:
Something fairly neutral, I think. And maybe a pretty red polka-dot for the binding. If anyone out there has any ideas, I'd love to hear them!!
