I managed to find a few minutes in the attic room which were Domino-free, and took advantage of this to rearrange the Festive Mystery Quilt blocks into a couple of different layouts. 
Here is where a digital camera comes into its own - how on earth can you compare layouts unless you have an image of each choice in front of you? Not that I've quite decided on which I like best just yet.
And I'm getting stuck in to the baby mats. I've gone for a slight variation on what I had first envisioned - I was going to struggle on fabric quantities by using just using a pale plain for the background checkers, but by mixing in these bold plains it will eek out what I have.
It'll take rather longer to get the tops pieced, but there you go - six down, thirty to go...
I really like both of those options so I am no help!
ReplyDeleteI'm struggling to decide, Mrs P!
DeleteI like the second arrangement. It is difficult to arrive at a choice.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I think I have a favourite, I go and change my mind!
DeleteI prefer the second option too, but at the end of the day it is your quilt and whichever one you like is the right one.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how we managed without digital cameras either :}
I am coming to the conclusion that there is such a thing as too much choice! Just think what I'd be like with design software - I'd be so busy dithering, I'd get no sewing done!
DeleteI think you should print out all the layout photos, put them in front of Domino and see which one he chooses - after all, you are making this for him!
ReplyDeleteNow I've told him that he can have his own quilt - it's just that it's not this one! (yeah, right!)
