Among my unfinished tops I picked what I called the Gypsy Four Patch top. I found it too messy to become a double size bed cover, definitely I did not like it. Sometimes I wonder why I insist when in doubt... I remember that from the very beginning I was not sure of myself and instead of stopping I went on adding other fabric lines, as a consequence that the more I was advancing with this project, trying to improve it, the less I was satisfied. Final result : an abandoned top.
Wondering what to do with this top, it came to my mind that it could be nice as a baby quilt. So I cut it in four parts and started to quilt the first one. On a small scale it looks better and quite joyful though soft colors. Maybe the fabric design is not very kid's style? What is you opinion? Well, we shall see and if I am pleased with this first one I will go on with the three others...
I’ve had that same experience....a big quilt top that dId not please me. I like your plan to make 4 baby quilts or toddler blankets for the car. I live in MN where the warmth would be helpful and comforting in wintertime.
ReplyDeletePS - I love the Amy Butler fabrics you’ve used.
Thanks Vicki Lou for your kind comment! Do you have a blog?
DeleteCes jolies couleurs douces sont parfaites pour une courtepointe de bébé !
ReplyDeleteMerci Muriel pour ce gentil message!
DeleteDefinitely lovely fabrics here for baby quilts! It is a good idea to re-purpose a quilt top which doesn't strike a chord any more, better than it staying in the drawer or a cupboard.
