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.
