As it's a baby quilt I figured it would be a good idea to wash it first and it's come out lovely and soft and crinkly. Although, looking at the photo, maybe a little too crinkly lol - maybe a steam iron wouldn't go amiss?! Waif certainly thinks it's good enough for cuddling:
Oh, and mum thinks I should call the quilt Golden Girl (it's golden and it's for a girl!), hence the post title.
I have carried on with the ICAD Challenge, though this week I struggled with any sort of theme, so they're rather a mixed bunch!
I did a doodly patterned one:
A silly collage:
A Greek vase pattern:
An extract from the Metta Sutta:
A quick Modigliani inspired watercolour portrait:
A doodle inspired by an exhibition by "Seven":
And a collage to remember today's visit to Blickling Hall:
The boys have also been joining in with the ICAD Challenge and you can see their cards, as well as all mine, in my Flickr set here. This week will see us half way through the ICAD Challenge, how shall we celebrate our achievement?!
The baby quilt is so pretty. I just love the colors you used. Yellow is fresh and happy.
ReplyDeleteAnd your index cards are great! I like how you make them all with different techniques. I seem to be stuck in a collage rut!!
Cute quilt with just the right amount of crinkly!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are fun. Trying that would cause me a lot of anxiety, though seeing yours it makes me want to try!
This is such a lovely summery quilt for a summer baby. I'm sure it will be cherished for ever.
ReplyDeleteI love all the cards...I don't know which to pick as a favorite...the one with seven on it is intriguing...but love them all. The quilt is wonderful...it's not too crinkly at all...love the colors you chose for it.
