Making progress

on the boy's blankie. :)

I'm using fabrics that are purportedly "African cottons". I'm not sure whether they actually are or not, or what makes them "African"; however, they're masculine looking and in the colour pallette I'm looking for.



Black of course, along with black and gold and cream and gold. Some of the centre panels are pieced out of scraps of the cream/black fabric, but it's such a busy fabric, you can't tell.




I'm quite pleased with is so far. I'm going to continue working on it after I get home from my day job as I can for the rest of the week (knowing already that I won't be working on it tommorrow); and hope I can make some good progress on it. (Click to enlarge)



Beginning Monday though, I have to start working on another quilt that has to be completed by the 11th of August. I have the fabrics and my pattern idea already though, so that should help.

  2. I think the quilt looks great and I bet your "styling" guy will love it. He is lucky he has a mom that makes quilts after all!
