Blowing in the wind

I'm a very slow quilter, especially during the design stage when decisions need to be made. That's why I'm still working on the Pretty in Pink baby quilt. After long deliberations I decided to add white border all around to frame the quilt.




I took some pictures of the quilt top on our balcony in the lovely morning wind.


I'm also going to put the baby's name on the back,

Hope to finish the quilt during the coming week.

Do you also spend so much time on seemingly small decisions? Is this perfectionism really worth it in terms of time spent?

Pretty in Pink - progress

I finished the pink baby quilt top - thank you all commenters for your good advice! I put the squares on edge and added white sashing and I'm very happy with the result. Of course there were few glitches and a lot of ripping, and since my math was never good, the side triangles are too small... I didn't realize you have to cut them a 1/2 inch larger. Well, I call it tuition. You learn from experience.


I love working with the pink fabrics I've been keeping for so long. I especially like the stripes and plaids, but also the small flowers. These fabrics are a tribute to my dear little sister who taught me to love fabrics and all things beautiful.



It's quite a small quilt, 34.5x34.5 inch. Working on a small piece is a pleasure. Much easier, with immediate results.




Off to backing, basting and quilting.
