This is a baby boy's quilt. The person I am making it for wants blue, yellow and white. I love the combination of colours - so fresh and gorgeous! I had to order a number of yellow fabrics as I'm not strong on these in my stash, but I had lots of blues. With the limited colours, I wanted to have lots of interest in shades, prints and values and I think I assembled a nice mix in the end!
Then I trialled a couple of blocks. Pinwheels, I just love them. So simple, so classic but just lovely with the right fabrics because there is so much movement in them.
Do you hear that satisfied sigh? That's me, all ready to get chain piecing tonight when the kids are gone to bed! Now, time to go off and do what I've been avoiding all day: tidy up, put away the shopping, spend some quality time with the kids and supervise the homework (that doesn't fall in the quality time category....maybe I will leave that job to Himself when he gets in from work!).
Hope you're having a good day! I'm linking up to WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.

Nice fabrics, must be nice to have a new project on the go too!
I know what you mean by lots of organising but not so much sewing! The same thing is happening to me. But I too will start getting down to business before the end of the week. Love the pinwheels and your choice of fabric. Looking forward to following your progress :)

Those pinwheels are perfect, Sarah! And a new rotary blade is definitely one of the little joys of quilting!
Looking unsurprisingly lovely!
Blue and yellow are just timelessly classic, aren't they? Looking good so far... And I definitely need the change out my rotary blade. Thanks for the reminder! ;)
