Can you hear the whine in that?
I am making this baby quilt - my version of an I Spy. Since I'm not sure what an I Spy really is...this just kind of came together. Grandpa is known as a bow tie guy so that worked well. I plan on adding a small black border to edge the bias pieces and kind of frame it. Now I am stuck on what to do about the back. The front is so busy. I have a piece of black that has chalkboard abc's on it (parents are teachers) It is not quite large enough but I could put borders on it. Was not sure about black and white so I bought some flannel that has abc in multicolors with a white background. Then today I came home with a red on red flannel. Kind of a marble. And I am NOT telling DH how much I have spent on fabric for this!!! The baby is here and I'm stuck! Any ideas? |
OH MY! I'm still mesmerized by the front!
But, I"m leaning towards the red for the back |
Oh, I'm a teacher and I vote for the ABCs!! It's not like the baby will be looking at the front and back at the same time. :D
That is a wonderful quilt!! Lucky baby!! :wink: |
Hi ,
Use the alphabet fabric and add some of the red to make it bigger. Great looking quilt for a baby!!! Bebe |

Skacian-that is what I have seen. I didn't think I could do hexagons so I made fake ones. I just used random picture fabric. I didn't tie it into a theme (other than boy) or try to do one for each letter of the alphabet. Is that what is usually done?

2 Doods - that is an awesome quilt. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Lots of work went into that one. Looks like the ABC's get my vote too.

bebe-what is a good size? As it is now it is 36x45. I still need to add the border. I am leaning toward the flannel for the back. Just for cuddle factor.
