Here's the sneak peek at what I've got planned. I figured simple pages, each of a different color.
I will admit, I am not a quilter, so sewing these together is taking a little longer than others would, but it's a great place to start and practice, because little kids don't notice (or care about) all the imperfections.
I have done a little rearranging of these pieces, but nothing major.
-On the brown square, I switched the owl and camel so the two blue backgrounds were opposite each other
-On the brown square, I switched the owl and camel so the two blue backgrounds were opposite each other
-On the orange, I switched the dinosaur and he blue fish so the two fish are opposite
-On the pink page, I rotates the middle square so the black corner isn't touching the only other design wit black on it.
I figure that as they grow up and the different "feels" isn't quite enough, it may even turn into an I-Spy kind of book. (I.E. "where's the Christmas tree?" or "find the fox")
For these pages I really just looked through all my scrap fabrics and found as many of each color as possible. Where I needed a little help, I had an I-Spy fabric piece my grandmother gave me that I used for fussy cuts of the cute little images (she had already cut a few images out so I really couldn't have used it for much else anyway).
This was so much fun to put together. I'm having a blast working on this project and I can't wait to finish it!! (At this point, I have all but the yellow and orange blocks actually sewn, but no pictures of them. The reason for those two being last was the fact that I had no orange thread and although I had yellow, there was no bobbin to match yet, but they will probably be finished later today and I may update again tomorrow or the next day.)
That's all for now,
Jo!
