The center and border pieces of this little quilt have been up on my design wall in my studio for over a year. I couldn't decide what color I wanted that inner border to be. Then I realized I like the white from the design wall so I chose a batik that has a very faint pastel pattern on white and sewed it together last night. It is only about 28" x 32". I could add another border and make it bigger but I think it would be a cradle size quilt right now, or a nice quilt to carry in a diaper bag to use when visiting others.
I like it very, very much.
ReplyDeleteah the beauty of sitting and staring at something for a long time! the answer usually right before your eyes! the design wall! good choice it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous! What a great baby quilt -- and that pale border was inspired! It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours! First, I wasn't so sure about the white, but it is a differenciated white, and if I try to imagine other colours for the inner border, I find out you're right.
ReplyDeleteProof positive that simple can be stunning!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I don't think I would add another border. You really can't improve on this one, it is perfect already.
ReplyDeleteWonderful quilts you make, and wonderful use of colour in your quilts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great baby quilt. I love the green and blue 4 patch blocks and the border is just as cute.
ReplyDeleteInspiration from your design wall....so it was right in front of you for a year! hahaha. I think it is perfect and I like you working in cool colors for a bit. Good job.
ReplyDeleteBaby floor quilts are the best! It is a perfect size for putting down on the floor and small enough to pop right into the wash. And it is pretty too! Cheers! Evelyn
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little baby quilt!
ReplyDeleteI really like the white border, and it's a nice place for displaying some quilting stitches. It's a beautiful quilt. One less in the pile of unfinished! YES!
ReplyDeleteHi Wanda
ReplyDeleteVery simple yet striking baby quilt.
My neighbor two houses down has boy twins arriving any day -- I may just borrow your idea.

Very pretty quilt...the light border sets off the bright blocks well. Love the checkered final border.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how when you have a "difficult" decision, the solution is often the simplest possible course of action.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful little quilt. Some baby will be very blessed to get it.
Now this is a stunning baby quilt. Love the fabric choices.
