Is this too ugly?

I’m feeling a bit under the weather today, and didn’t get around to doing anyting I’d planned on, but instead decided to whip up a quick toddler quilt.  It’s designed, the blocks are all made, and the center is nearly sewn together.

Super easy, but I’m not sure I like it.  I grabbed a bunch of solids and just started mixing them up… not a lot of thought to color, which is probably why I’m not likeing it as well as I should.

Three colors would have looked much better I think.

I have need of a toddler quilt asap.  I do NOT want it to look like something I slapped together, if it does please be honest, I’d just as soon start over.

I “think” it will be cute once it’s quilted, should I reserve judgement until it’s finished?  I can always use it for a dog bed!

i think I’ll go take a nap.

Or play with some dough.  Fresh bread always makes me feel better!

Rain, rain rain

No rain all summer, lots and lots of rain all fall and winter so far.  I’m not sure how much has fallen this morning, but the orchard is starting to flood.

The geese love it, they ignore their tub in this weather and just go swimming in the little lakes forming everywhere!

Due to the rain, I decided not to go to the quilt shop today as planned.  It’s a long drive, and it’s raining pretty good out there.

I took the picture while hanging out our upstairs window :)

Donation quilt

A friend of mine whipped up this easy quilt for a gal in her church who was diagnosed with cancer this winter, and I just finished quilting it for her.  I love the way the feathers dressed it up!

Tomorrow Dee and I are headed towards Fort Smith to visit Mama’s Log House… I need to find a red and a green fabric to go with my focus fabric I chose for my Glacier Star.  When I have all my fabrics, I’ll post a picture.  I’ve only seen these done in batiks.  I’m using a black and red floral for my focus fabric, it’s the “Aboretum” line by Sentimental Studios for Moda.  Hopefully I’ll find what I need tomorrow!

Oh… here’s the focus fabric. 

My star points will all be solid black.

Design wall Monday

More fun today!  Well yesterday actually, today I won’t have time to play anymore with this.  I have the decorative stitching and quilting nearly done.  I’m going to make a project tote bag out of this one.   This will be the front piece.

Today I have my first online “Glacier Star” class, I can’t wait!

Head over to Judy’s to see what everyone else is up to this Design wall Monday!
