The first (mostly) completed block:
Six of the twelve partially done blocks, on the pink that I'm using as the border fabric:
Here's two of the fabrics that I've bought for the backing, Meet the Gang Names in Rose and 1001 Peeps Towers in Purple (both from the Pink Chalk Fabric sale - such a bargain that shipping was more expensive than the fabric!) I think I might add in some purple solids to bulk out the back, I want the back to be less girly than the front so that she can swap and change as she gets older.
How cute is it that the blush-y colour on the top of the skinny minaret perfectly matches the background of the names?
Proof that it does look something like the pattern! I might have to call it my "Zoo Windows" quilt - look at that cute giraffe :)
And a quick question if you've got this far - anyone in the UK have a recommendation for a good online shop selling wadding and spray starch? I can't remember where I bought my last bits of wadding from, or even what brand it was! Ta very muchly :-)
PPS - sorry if I don't reply to comments straight away, I'll be off on my jollies in Denmark :) I promise to reply asap.
Love your quilt, I have that 1001 Peeps fabric but haven't cut into it yet!
ReplyDeleteHave bought wadding from Asding and the Cottonpatch, so can recommend both.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have bought fabric and wadding from this online shop, the fabric always arrives beautifully wrapped.

and the starch you can actually make yourself which may work out cheaper
