Decisions, decisions
I have baby girl quilt pin sandwiched and pin basted. While watching the Golden Globes, I unpinned and ripped out 2 of the blocks because I noticed that I didn't like the placement of the blocks. Good grief. What a pain. I could have left it but it would have bothered me. Picking apart seams is so not fun but I didn't want to obsess about it later. It seems that once you notice something on your quilt, that is all you can see. Husband had not even noticed it and I rely on him to notice these things. I always ask him about the binding choices. He has a good eye for colour. I don't always agree with him but I do ask him. Husband thought I should bind the girl quilt with a dark red. He thought that would make the colours in the quilt pop and also clearly identify the quilt as a child's quilt. I didn't like the solid he liked but when I stopped at the fabulous local quilt store, I found the perfect thing. From the It's a Hoot line by Momo for Moda. (That sounds funny.) Check out the picture. I think it will look awesome. I wouldn't have thought of that colour choice on my own. I think I would have gone to a green. Sorry about the photo but it was getting dark when I got home from school.
Love your choice! It is going to be beautiful:)
