Anyway, I've been very productive this week.. the boys helped me sort through some scraps one afternoon and I've got a nice basket full of hexie-diamond hopefuls.
I figure I better not cut too many now in case I change my mind about the colors. I have pulled a lot of purples, pinks and oranges, and I'm not sure if I'll want to stick with that when I actually get around to stitching them. I let George help and select the fabrics for the rings around the bird hexies-- one uses a blue scrap from the quilt on his bed, I wonder if he recognizes it. They are definitely not fabrics I would have picked to go together, so these two bird blocks will be all George, and that's just fine by me. I hope by the time I reach the other side of the quilt, Jack will be old enough to contribute his preferences too.

I like the blue-green-purples. It looks like your helpers are having a good time!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the boys had a lot of fun helping Mom! The colors are great and I think pinks and oranges along the blues, greens, and purples will look very nice.
