Miss Potter
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.

I agree, no border. It’s very nice. I really like it. LOTS. Hint, hint.
oh…I think a small white border would be lovely! More like cording.
Hi, Sarah! This is kendra from the Grome’s BOTM club! Still in Wisconsin. Called the shop the other day to ask a technical question and Cesaleigh answered. She said you moved back to Indiana. Good thing I have your site bookmarked!
I love this quilt, too. I vote for a thin white border!
Since moving here, I’ve done a little quilting, but mostly curtains, halloween costumes and doll and barbie clothes! As a favor for a friend, I dug out the supplies, reread the manual, repurchased broken supplies and $200 and 2 weeks later, embroidered a table cloth for her. She would feel so badly if she knew what I had gone through, but I’m so grateful she got me out of my funk and forced me back into what I love doing. The machine is back out and I’ve made 4 dresses for my daughters (now 4 years old) and 2 purses for them with their names on them and cute valentines designs on a couple of the dresses with more projects planned!
I’m going to peruse through some back pages and get caught up on what you are doing lately. We also have a little blog…solskensspot.blogspot.com. Enjoy!
