WiP - Ooh la la

I'm keeping up with my list - 10 things this summer. I finished Diamond Tread quilt. For more pics check out my previous post.
#1 Diamond Tread - DONE
I totally changed my mind on the #3 - crib size quilt for my girl. I wanted to use the already made circles and make bubble quilt as planned year ago but it's not happening. I'll make some cushions instead. I decided to challenge myself a bit with the quilt. It's nothing difficult just my personal challenge which means do something you wouldn't usually do. In my case it means random placement and squares. Mostly I'm not really keen on the classic square look especially if it's scrappy and random. I couldn't do scrappy vomit that would be way too much so I picked the rest of Ooh la la charm pack and added some dotty fabrics from my stash. There is one more challenge in the quilting plan but I'm not gonna tell you. Just in case it won't work out, lol. Straight lines quilting is my back up plan. So we'll see. The crucial part is usually the basting and I already passed that one. Yippee.

    That crib quilt is absolutely beautiful. So simple and subtle, but stunning.

    Good luck with the quilting.

      Sure. It is easy fix. There are many post on this topic, for example: http://anyonecandecorate.blogspot.cz/2012/09/are-you-no-reply-blogger-how-to-fix.html and while you in your setting you may also turn the word verification off to make it easier for others to comment on your blog: http://www.geekalicious.co.uk/2012/09/turn-word-verification-off.html

      Thank you. I didn't even know I had word verification on. I find it so annoying on other blogs, so I'll be glad to get rid of it from mine. Thanks again.

    I must admit that the majority of the fabrics that you used for the crib quilt are ones that I wouldn't look at twice BUT I love your quilt top- so pretty and subtle and gorgeous! Well done! Oh and you aced the random placement!
