Here's a small quilt I just finished. The contrast between the pink and the yellow is somewhat off-key, or 'tart' and thus it reminds me of a tangy pink lemonade. The squares are 4".

It's baby size, and honestly I don't have anybody in mind for it.
There's a lady coworker whom I don't know (she works in another region of the country than I do) who just had a baby girl, but I'm debating whether or not to send it to her, as we've never met.

For now, my cat thinks it's hers. It can always be washed if I do find someone to give it to!

The original inspiration was an aquarium with star fish in it. The quilt doesn't look anything like it, but that's where the idea started.

Beautiful quilt and it is true to your inspiration, I love it!
I would call it after the star fish if it were mine as it really does look like them!

That is so pretty. I can't imagine making 4" star blocks, my fat fingers couldn't pick up and hold one to pieces that small.

I love your quilt. Don't you just love the inspriration ideas. Problem is sometimes there can be too many.

lallyann 07-19-2010 06:20 AM

so pretty! I love how you used yellow and pink and it doesn't look like its for a baby! My sister's favorite colors are pink and yellow and I couldn't seem to find anything that didn't look baby-ish! You did a great job! I love that you posted your inspirational photo too! Its neat to see your how your creation started.

I like the little stars. Great job

I really like your quilt! Do something special with it. If you give it to your coworker make sure that you sign it and send a message on your label.

It turned out really nice!! :thumbup:

feline fanatic 07-19-2010 07:47 AM

I like this too! Not usually a fan of pink and never would have thought to pair it with yellows. It really looks good together with the hues you have picked out.

Ditter43 07-19-2010 08:18 AM

That is very pretty!! I like it a lot! :thumbup: :D
