When you first posted the stripe, I liked it. In the second picture, I agree with Diane. Just makes one want to snuggle right down into it! :-)

Beautiful, Chanda!

Thank you.
Now to get to sewing on the four commissioned quilts, then I have a couple planned that are just because; hope I have enough winter work with..

No picture yet of Diane's quilt, but I did finish the top.

Took the extra pieces and I'm making a smaller quilt with the purple and blue.  A neighbor requested a baby quilt earlier this summer when I wasn't quilting and had nothing made, so we'll see if they'll like this little one, or maybe one of the printed pre-quilted panel quilts that I have a couple already with binding on.  [Need to swap a couple pieces around before a sew, but otherwise, I think it'll work.]

Thank you.

And, now to see if maybe it'll work for the neighbor that inquired about a baby quilt mid-summer, when I don't sew.  Had a couple pre-quilted panel quilt (I just have to add binding), but nothing handcrafted.

Next batch of fabrics, the blue top right might be a little dark to have good contrast with the grey; but I might still use it.  Might need to pull a tan fabric to use as background for that fabric.

Didn't have to search too far, I found a beige blender that should work for background for the blue fabrics (and the grey will be background for the beige/brown prints).

thank you.
Found another blue and beige in my stash to add.  The blue is a tone on tone with stars, and the beige has a scroll like print in it.   Should make for enough variety and interest.
