A very dear friend is having her first baby in March, a girl. The nursery colors are basically mint green, pink, and grey, with a woodland animals theme. I have been doing some searching for the 'perfect' fabric for this quilt, probably my most important quilt so far It's special because I've known her since she was a teenager, and she used to babysit my girls on a regular basis (now my girls will most likely babysit for her at some point!!).
I am planning on using Eleanor Burns 'Geese in the Garden' pattern because I think it will lend itself well to the nursery.
I did come across 'Sweet Home by Melly & Me' - I'm considering using the pinks from this line, and possibly using the pink main yardage with the little neighborhood scene as a scalloped border. The vines will add the green, along with a narrow green border before the big border, and I may do grey binding to complete the look. My only hesitation is the border fabric is not really 'woodland', but I could easily do a white border, or one of the other fabrics... decisions, decisions...
I also like the 'fancy free' line by Lori Whitlock for Riley Blake but neither of these have much green - do ya think the quilt will be too 'pink'??
The other idea (now you know how my mind swirls with quilting stuff when I lay down at night!) is to do solids for the geese (three rows - so pink, grey, mint).. and do a bold floral border with those colors in it...
If anyone knows of another fabric line that might work, I would absolutely love suggestions!! Thanks
