Deciding on quilting style....

I thought about this quilting style for the Hoppe baby-in-waiting quilt

More scrappy inspiration...

I think I might do something like this but smaller as a wall hanging to go along with the Hoppe baby-in-waiting quilt

Update on the Blues and Greens

All in one piece - now what to do with it????

Long time no sew

Gosh its been a long time since I last had my sewing machine out - but with the unseasonal cold snap, its perfect weather to be hiding indoors with fabric and the machine.

I was completely inspired by this wonky quilt, I decided to make one for my very good friend's baby-in-waiting.

I think its meant to be a bit of a scrappy quilt to use up bright and coloured odds and ends - I used some of my stash, but needed to grab a few other bits and pieces where my stash fell short eg. yellows and oranges.
Here's the inprogress shots.

I have to say I definately underestimated how difficult it would be for me to deliberately make those "squares" wonky. The first one I did was perfectly square, and I had to unpick it. ;)

Even harder was to attach them all together to make them sit wonkily.

Im very please with how this has turned out - now I just need to decide on backing and binding. Or do you think it needs something around the outside as a border?
