Design Wall Monday - 12/28/15

Remember how I found that fab giraffe fabric while Christmas shopping and tried to contain myself until after Christmas by picking a fabric palette?

Well...

It's after Christmas!!


When it came down to it, I realized that just didn't have enough of the stash fabrics I had picked for this project. My original plan had been to use an olive green in part of the project since I knew there was not enough of the neutral. But when I realized that the medium brown was only a FQ and also probably not enough, I started looking for different fabrics. It's a good thing (or is it bad??) that my LQS pays me in fabric!!

It's really hard to see the oliv-y green across the bottom but it's a gorgeous fabric

I ended up with these fabrics!!

Now my big decision is exactly how (and if) to integrate the green on the front since I have enough of the other 3 fabrics.

This is the dolly bed size version I'll be making.

This is the quilt I stole my idea from. I had originally thought of having the outside 2 columns of diamonds in the green with the rest the neutral but now I am thinking either no green or it could be the 2nd column from one side. I am also debating to finish the edges flat for a regular (green?) binding or to leave them with the hexie points. I'm leaning towards points...


I am making progress tho!! Those pesky little decisions can be made later...I've got stitching to do...

I can see why you're enthused about the giraffe print. Your design idea looks great.
