Miss Potter

Posted under fabric, quilts 3 Comments

Top for gender neutral Baby Shutta?  Done.  I am loving this quilt, it is so simple but has been fun to plan and start making. I need to dig around to see if I have any white batting.  Most batting that I like using and is easy to find is cream colored.  But if you have any white in your quilt, a cream colored batting can dampen the brightness of the white fabrics.   If done that way, it might not be noticeable to most people, but it would bother me.  My only question at this point is to border or not to border.  I am leaning to no border.  But maybe a small white border would look good too?

Tim and I recently watched Miss Potter on DVD, and in the special features there was a story of her real life (much different than the dvd-hollywood version), and love her even more for her very forward ways and thinking towards green space, independent farms and environmentalism – all way before her time really.
