Ugh it's hot!
Sweating and sewing.
Window A/C units just aren't cutting it.
300% humidity is just too much. I think I'm growing gills.
I left the tables up from this weekend, so I'm sewing downstairs. Nearer the air conditioning. Makes ironing bearable.
Twin baby quilt #1 almost done!
Auntie-to-be asked for pastels. Momma-to-be likes them. The original pattern would have me putting that darker blue around it as borders.
Auditioning...what do you all think?
Is it too dark for a pastel-ey quilt?
I've definitely got extra of the light blue, but I worry that would blend too much with the blocks... (I can hear you: another picture would have been nice...sorry!)
Tomorrow I'll start #2!
Happy quilting and stay cool,
Katie
I love the pastels, those will be beautiful quilts. I like the dark blue for the border. It brings out the other blues in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteTry to stay cool.
I like the dark...it frames and grounds it. I think it's great;)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the sweat shop...I've been turning off the AC as much as possible so I can afford to use the sewing machine!! LOL;)
Happy Quilting!!
thank goodness we don't have humidity here. IT has been hot though, and I keep being a fooland thinking walking here and there's a brilliant idea...ughhh=)
ReplyDeleteAre these the quilts for the twins? If so, why not put a dark border on one, and a light border on the other. That way each could have their own burps and boogers on theirs, and Mom could know which was which, in case one has a cold or whatever! *grin*
ReplyDeleteActually I like the dark border, and it won't show soil from handling and chewing as much as the light border would. Just a thought!
They are going to be so cute! And much loved, I'm sure! ---"Love"
I think the dark blue border is perfect -- it frames all the lighter blocks.

That's a shame about the humidity. Yuck, yuck, yuck! Your quilt is looking good. I guess the dark blue becomes a frame. Have you tried the yellow? Ann :-)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I like it just fine.

Love the colors and I agree that the dark blue really looks good. I don't think it takes away from the pastel look at all.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the darker blue. It really frames it up well. You can always do a pastel backing. Love the pattern!! :)
