The Beginning of a New Quilt

Last night after the kids were all tucked in, I headed to my sewing room. I've been concentrating on making clothing, because I need to build up stock for the summer markets. Last night I just couldn't decide what to make, so I thought it was time for a quilt.

While I was making the front of the quilt I was thinking about putting a whale design on it, because I have not yet put a whale design on a quilt. When I woke up and came downstairs to look at it, my mind changed. It kind of looks like it is calling for a Tree of Life design.

What do you thing?

And the Winner....

Flower Baby Blanket

Yesterday I was finally in the mood to make a blanket. I've been all about the clothing for the last couple of weeks, but the Hudson's Bay blanket I bought last week was calling to me.

I know not a great picture. I didn't have my fancy new camera yet:)

All week I have had ideas running through my mind of colours and designs. This is one of them:

A blue flower

With a yellow satin stitch

It actually resembles a sun as well

The reverse has a sea mist green flannelette with many coloured butterflies

This blanket will come to the Moss St Market with me this weekend, and if it doesn't sell I will list it on my Etsy shop. Though I have been considering abandoning my shop for the summer, because I just don't have enough stuff to divide between my shop and craft markets. I'm still back and forth on that idea. Any feedback would be welcome:)
