I am in charge of Activity Days for the 8-11 year old girls at my church and 2 of the girls turn 12 and "graduate" this month. I'm making a quilt for both of them, and it's been fun coming up with a plan for these 2 quilts because these girls are very different from each other, so it makes the quilts very different. I like the challenge of matching a quilt to its owner.
The first quilt is for a major tomboy whose favorite colors are blue & red. I knew right away that I had to stay away from flowers and anything froofy (is that a word? - well, I suppose it is now). I wanted something simple and clean. I chose mostly solids and a lot of negative space.
There's a thunderstorm blowing in soon, so the wind was a little crazy this morning...
I plan on doing a fun twist of the front on the back, and then it's time to start the second quilt.
I like that a storm was blowing in when you were taking pictures of the "tomboy's" quilt--perfect! And the design is terrific--well done. I think the word is frou-frou, and you're right--it means frilly and girly (French word, I think).
ReplyDeleteTwo quilts? You'll be busy, but what a great thing to do.
What a sweet quilt. Those girls will cherish them and that you thought just about them while making it! Happy Birthday to the little ladybug. What a cute party you had.
