I am finally back in my sewing room. Hooray! I have started work on the much talked about baby quilt for my new granddaughter who is scheduled to arrive in ONE month.
I found one more fabric (the check in the center) to go with the assortment I had already collected. The fabric for this quilt came from Charm, Ohio; Bellevue, Washington; and Mankato, Minnesota! I am really happy with it. Pink and yellow were the colors I chose for our wedding forty plus years ago. I still love the combo.
I had an idea but wasn't quite sure how it would look so I played on my design board. I had originally planned to use the 'plain' white fabric (white stars on white) in the same fashion as I used the 'solid' pink (Moda Marble)and 'solid' yellow (Moda Marble). But it didn't suit me. So I did some more cutting and trimming and arranging.
This is my current arrangement. I took pictures of it and have been rotating the pictures to help me decide if I need to tweak some things. I need to sleep on it.

Gorgeous colour combination. Look forward to seeing the end result!
Soft, snuggily, sweet.
Love the current arrangement. I think the white will be lovely as the binding. Thanks for the tips you give about quilting--I never would have thought to make the binding or backing first. Take care.
love it! My 8th grandchild (4th granddaughter) is due in a week or two. I might steal your idea! Really cute!
You are just zooming along on this! Cute color combo - so sweet for a baby girl. It's looking good!
