I mentioned saving the pink and brown charms for a baby quilt. Knowing there would not be enough for a quilt, I looked for other fabrics to add to the mix.
I found this pink scroll print locally and thought it blended with the charms.

These two Whisper Prints in wheat by Robert Kaufman were taken from a quilt kit I recently purchased from Craftsy.

And this oldie but goodie was found in my stash. It goes way back, but thought it coordinated well with the others.

I have squares sewn together for 12 of the rows and the top 4 rows are in process. Here is a close up where you can see the various fabrics. I plan to enclose the plus signs with a 2 1/2" border of the same fabric, the one you see mostly around the edge. Already wondering, how am I going to quit this?

For the quilting, what immediately popped to my mind was using a pink thread for the quilting and an all over boxy meander. You've made great progress so far. :)
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! I love this use of brown and pink in a modern way.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Pink and brown combo is definitely on my bucket list.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely baby quilt. I like the more traditional fabrics with the modern plus design.
ReplyDeleteI second Yvonne's vote for a light pink thread and something overall and simple.
ReplyDeleteVery soft colors. Looks good.
