Aren’t those ladybugs adorable! I just love them and you know I’m not really a pink fan by any means. The only pink fabrics I generally buy are for the quilts I make for the women’s golf outing that benefits the Komen Fund each spring. So I’m always on the look out for what I might want to use the the next year’s donation quilts for that event.
I saw this, and I knew I had to order it for next year’s quilt. Don’t know how I’ll use it yet or what fabrics I’ll find to go with it but these bugs are just too cute and I can think of lots of possibilities.
I was also going to use some really boring (but on hand in the stash) wide backing fabric so I could start quilting the Child’s Play quilt.
But a quilt so bright and cheerful and fun — I decided I really needed to find it a fun backing fabric and what could be better that a white backgrond with colored specs and bright colored Balloon Animals. They are just too cute and the oh so perfect backing for this quilt. So I’m anxiously awaiting it’s delivery.
In the meantime, I stopped and picked up some batting so I can get a different quilt layered this weekend so I can start quilting on it. But for now, it’s back to my knitting while I plan my path of attack tomorrow — where to start cleaning first…..
Hi… love the ladybugs, love that they are green and pink, and yhr toy quilt is just adorable!
I love the border fabric on the Child’s Play Quilt!! It really makes the quilt. I liked the design anyway but it adds so much to it….good job!!!
The Child’s Play Quilt – excellent. You know exactly what needs to go into it to captivate a young child.
Thanks Irene!
Cute lady bug fabric! Something will tell you what to do with it. Sometimes you just have to have the appropriate backing for a quilt, don’t you? Balloon animals sounds like a match!
