Well, it looks like Olivia's birthday quilt was a big hit! She really liked it and put it on her bed that night. I went to my local quilt store today to pick up some new supplies and relayed the information to a friend at the store. She thought it was great that I used the fan quilting technique I had learned a few weeks ago at the store. I told her I would bring in a picture to share next time I stopped by. They are having a "PJ Party" at the shop tonight where you can come in and stay up till midnight working on UFOs and getting some extra help if needed. I don't kow how they do it...I can never seem to stay awake past 9:30 anymore.
I have been thinking a lot lately about what type of quilt I want to make for the Hands 2 Help Charity Quilt Challenge this month. I decided I would like to make a bright, springy, cheerful quilt for a child. So I found this cute collection today and bought a half-yard of each fabric in the line.
The fabric with the hearts on it is sweet as well!
Doesn't this cheerful color make you want to smile like you are out in the sunshine?
Tomorrow I'll share pics of how I cut it up and what type of pattern I am choosing for this quilt. I think it is so great to try a new design/pattern each time I start a new project. I have enjoyed learning how to make the other three quilts, and I already have something in mind to work on next!
Have a great evening!
