I need a design wall.

Before I go any further, let me apologize for this picture.  I don't know how to take pics in my house without them either being totally washed out by the flash or this sickly yellow color because I refuse to use a flash.  (I hate flash.)  But I wanted to show off these little bits of happy because I love them so.  I think this is going to be another baby quilt that breaks my heart when it leaves my house.  Of course, as I pointed out to Scott, I can - and probably will at some point - make another one very easily.  I love the way that, when laid all out on my bed, they kind of made the shape of a heart.  A pointy heart, but a heart nonetheless.  And if I can struggle through the chest cold that's decided to move in today, you may actually see a finished quilt top tomorrow.  No promises though so I don't have to make excuses when it doesn't happen.

  1. For a design wall, try a flannel-backed tablecloth from the dollar store. I actually bought flannel-baked vinyl off the roll from Hancock so I could get white and attached it to the wall with two thumb tacks. Small holes so you can take it down if needed w/no damage to wall. I love the green background on your stars. I've been trying to use non-white for backgrounds lately too!

  2. My problem is that I don't have anywhere to put it, unless it is in my tiny, skinny hallway. No big open walls in my house.

    LOVE that aqua fabric. It just makes me happy. And at the very least I'll bring the finished top to the next splinter group meeting so you can see it.

  3. What fun colors! I'm going to keep the rainbow wonky stars in mind since I am doing a rainbow charm swap this month and have been day dreaming about what to do with them since the moment I signed up. and the aqua you used is YUMMY :)

  4. Loving those stars. Am holding you to the promise of finishing the top soon... only because I am extremely impatient. ;) Hope the cold doesn't hang around.
