I think it is very nice. Why don't you lay the blocks down and let your daughter loose in the room and see if she is drawn to it. Unless it is going on a bed and you aren't comfortable with the colors in her room - but she is 3 so she won't analyze and will love it! My mom is making a pink and brown (it does have more pink than brown) quilt for the little neighbor girl (probably about 2-1/2) and took it over the other day (unquilted) to see if it passed the mother test. That eneded up not mattering because Marilyn toddled over and went OH so guess it passed.

Thank you aaaaalll for your kind answers!
Yes, the darker colors was with keeping it mind, the quilt will travel all around the house, so it wont get too dirty soon.. As most of you think, that the colors are quite okay, I'll just keep going with that brown
There will be 104 blocks, I'll just put some more yellow, and it should be okay, I guess..
And yes, yes, I'll make them the same size for sure, before sewing them in one peace They ARE the same, actually, just a few of them are smaller than others, as there were the very first ones
Thanks again
Just haven't decided about the quilt style, wanted free motion, but still haven got my darning foot for my Bernina. What can I do with a WALKING foot, that I have got? Any ideas?

Here are a few ideas that may excite your imagination for others. And, yes, gentle curves can be done by slowly moving your fabric layers as the needle stitches.

By the way, your English is beautiful and puts most Americans to shame as there are not many of us who can speak second and third languages!!

I've quilted several baby quilts with straight diagonal lines with my walking foot. Start with a big X from corner to corner, then work outward, using the guide attached to the walking foot to set the distance to the last line over. I did my lines about 3" apart.

Hello Jurgita, My grandfather was from Lithuania...name of Gorgeleit. Know very little about your country. Would like to know more. Your quilt should please any child. Good luck with your work. My 25 yr old married granddaughter finished her first quilt this year and gave it to me. I love it because she made it and think of her when I use it.

Jurgita, there is a lot of quilting you can do with your walking foot using straight lines.

Keep reading QB and writing on it. Your English will become more natural. You're already doing way more than I'd ever hope to do with your language. Have had lots of opportunity to learn Spanish-I'm hopeless with language.

I think you are off to a good start with your quilt. So glad to have you here on the board. You will learn a lot if you ask questions. Everyone is eager to help and very generous. Looking forward to seeing more of your work on here.
