The neighbor liked the brown frog quilt and the other one I took up with me (the one similar to Diane's last, but with purple), so I'm out of baby quilts for the moment.  Time to get back to work on Ryan's.

bought some new horse print fabric, I couldn't resist it, despite the higher price.  Two colorways of the same print; a bright and a neutral.

Okay, after the Christmas holidays, and before calving season, you sold me on the bright print!  Can you make me a quilt for me, just myself and I?

I think I can come up with something and should have time to make it this winter.   Nice lap size quilt for Diane in pretty bright horse print.  Will see what I can find in brights to go with it.   do you have a favorite color, so perhaps I can pick that to be the main complimentary fabric.
thank you.

I'm fond of blues and greens--leaning toward to forest green colors.

And that size sound so perfect.  Just something to cover up with while in the recliner!

I'll see what goes, as I'm not sure forest green is in the bright horse print, but will come up with something using blues and greens as the complimentary colors to the horse print.   TY.

No, I was just saying I lean more toward the "nature" greens than those "neon" greens.  But, you know I totally trust your process and ideas, and I've never been disappointed, so if "neon" green is your decision, I'm more than happy with it!

Definitely no neon green, but it might be a grass green, rather than a forest green that compliments the horse print.

I like creating for you, you let me create what speaks to me based on your basic theme or color scheme (I wouldn't enjoy it if I had to create something very specific).

I thought I had two layout ideas for you, Ryan, but I don't think I have enough of the heart fabric to do the every other layout (would be one block short, I think).  I added one more fabric, I've sewn 6 of the 12 star blocks (6 completed in the pictures, plus 1 partially sewn - 2 of each color). 
[On the stars around layout, there would be stars in the corner too, just don't have those sewn yet.]

It's up to you, Ryan, but I'm leaning towards the every other arrangement, and I do have enough heart fabric to do 4x4 layout (that's 4 blocks wide by 4 block tall, it would take 8 heart print blocks, and 8 pieced star blocks).   Might add a border or two to that to make it a hair bigger.

I should be able to get back to making blocks in a day or two, then I'll look at it some more and see just how much of the heart fabric I have, and go from there as to which layout, but I really like the every other arrangement.
