It seems I have a brand new grand niece (thanks nephew - his #4). He now has 3 girls and one boy. They chose to be surprised so I waited on making the new baby quilt. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! I knew that Preeti's Masala quilt was one I wanted to make. It would work well for a boy or a girl. Diann is making a rainbow one that is beautiful. I headed to the store looking for a white background with colorful bits for a colorful quilt. Nothing jumped out at me so I walked down the wall of bolts. This pretty purple print called to me and after walking by it 3 times.... I kept coming back to it. A girl.... a pretty purple quilt will work. It seems the FQ's were $1 each (10 for $10) so I grabbed a few that went with it and knew I had a nice stack of purples at home as well. I think I'll pull a couple more darker purples and it should work well. The photo does not show the color well but they do pull out the flowers on the main floral well.
That will be a vey pretty quilt for a new little girl. Congrats! ~Jeanne
