I have a sweet hearted friend who regularly reaches out to me with a description of a friend she would like to gift a quilt to. This description was, Mom is a 45 year old epidemiologist who had a 5 pound baby girl a month early. The dad is from The Netherlands. Their home is subtle and understated. Can you do something geometric in solid colors?
I like to finish the borders on my regular machine.
I put a small top together of jewel, tone on tone rectangles totally color jumbled. Sent it to Debbie, who loved it. But I thought on it and the next morning I selected a charm pack of pastels from my stash and made the same blocks but set them like THIS:
We both agreed on the second little quilt top and I added a border, quilted it on my frame in soft rounded motifs to soften the angles. With a pretty pink and white back and a pink binding it is complete!
