Well I have now taken a step backwards. You see, big sister Helen has been up for the weekend and I showed her the blocks, laying them out on the floor, per decided design.
Well, before you can say 'Festive Mystery Quilt' she said, 'I wonder what it would look like if that block goes there, and that one goes that way round...hmmm...well, what if you used the border blocks as sashing instead like that...'
Ooooh...! There's a thought...!
So now I am not definitely decided on the final layout.
In other news, as they say, I have re-embroidered the labels for the baby mats, and delivered them safely to their new home at lunchtime.
And just when you thought you'd seen the last of them, big sister Helen has asked if I wouldn't mind putting another one together as her birthday present - she would like to give it as a present for her step-daughter who is expecting in the Autumn.
Ahhh!
Those pesky big sisters who are so lovable. I have one too. So I'll wait a little longer to see the final layout of FM.
ReplyDeleteShe's gone back to the South Coast now, Joanna, so I can get on! ;-)
DeleteI'm liking the borders as sashing. Big sister has a good eye.
ReplyDeleteYes, Donna, she has the knack of looking at things in ways you haven't thought of yourself!
DeleteOh really, Big Sisters!! It does look good like that too. So now I'm keen to see what you finally do.
ReplyDeleteI've whittled it down to one of three, Sue...
DeleteThat's what you get for having an exceptionally talented and artistic big sister!
ReplyDeleteShe has got a knack to taking a step back to think out these things, hasn't she?
