The baby quilt....

I got a little time to sew today before heading over to visit with my FIL in rehab. This pattern is Masala by SewPreetiQuilts. This does sew up really easily. Bear had to inspect them. The cats have not adjusted to him yet and are still hiding in the master bedroom closet and bathroom during the day and the bedroom at night. 

I still need to add my background flower print to each side of the block.

But I am wondering if it might be a tad too busy with the purple flowered print. Hmmmm. I might have to swap that out and maybe just use it on the back? I'll sleep on it and see how it looks tomorrow.

 

A new project

 

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.
