Plan B

Untitled

Do you remember this bundle I put together the other day? I was thinking about making a baby quilt for a boy.
Playing with my stash

BP had other ideas. She is waaaaaaaaay closer in age to the mother-to-be than I am, and thought that frankly, my idea sucked.  So after far too long faffing around with more ideas, I came up with Plan B.
Which involved some of these

When I showed BP the result of Plan B,  I was underwhelmed by the lack of enthusiasm from her, and now I'm not convinced Plan B was any better than Plan A.

It's not quite as bright as in the photo above. At this stage the grey will be the binding, I think it needs a "frame".

Baby quilt


Why do I second guess myself?????????????????????? AND why do I listen to a 19 year old?

  1. Never trust a 19 year old when it comes to taste (believe me, I'm talking from experience)!! I think your plan A is fantastic and I would stick with it, although plan B isn't bad either.

  2. I don't know 19 y-old Miss BP , so I can't comment on her ideas or preferences, but I know I do love the quilt you've put together so far! I think it would look great with an orange binding too! I don't suppose you could suggest she find another quilt maker who may, in fact, charge her a wee bit more than her own loving and accommodating mother!!!!

  3. Plan B is so sweet. I love those scooters. If you are happy go with it. Skip the second guessing. If you really, really aren't sure then make plan A too, and the new mum can choose between the two.

  8. Those scooters are darling! I also love your plan A bundle - I don't think you can go wrong with navy and citrusy greens :)

  10. I think it is darling! Maybe BP doesn't have the same taste as the MTB, so I say carry on.

  11. Isn't it funny. our kids do have such different ideas. I listen to my daughter and don't always like the results, but if she does then it's good. Some of my ideas are old fashioned so I like to have the infusion of young ideas.

    btw, I agree. make plan A too. there's usually a shower gift and an after baby gift ..

  12. Plan B looks good but I'm sure Plan A would have looked fab too. Maybe you could do Plan A for the other side of the quilt and make it reversible?

  15. Vroom!! Those scooters are fun!!! I love the modern look and it's so boyish! You should still doing something with the top pile of fabrics, love that combo! I always second guess every quilt I do, I think it's part of the process.
