So I decided to take the plunge...cut some fabric...make a start.
And wouldn't you know it? My old friend momentum kicked in, and all of a sudden my project was finished!
The original fabrics that I had chosen were a lot more...ummm...understated than these, but my polkadot obsession sorta kicked in too (as it often does) and it turned out quite bright (as it often does). Think I might have to keep this apron for myself :)
Thanks for all your comments and encourage for my sweet Lydia, and her charm pack purchase at the Craft Fair. She really couldn't wait to make a start, so before breakfast, and before getting out of her pyjamas this morning, she started playing around with the layout of her squares.
...and before she knew it, she had a quilt top! Now she is pestering for a trip into the shops to buy some backing and batting and border fabrics...I may have created a monster :)
The fabric she has used is Girlie Girl by Cheri L Strole for Moda, and she is now thinking, rather than a quilt for her dolls, that she may have to add some wide borders and keep it for her own use...fair enough, I think!
Happy Sunday

Way to go Lydia, keep adding to it i say, make it big enough for your own bed.
Your apron looks gorgeous of course you must bring/wear it on our next label crew night, i'll even leave you the dishes so you have a purpose to wear it!

Love your spotty creations and how wonderful is creative Lydia! Well done!
Love the aprong and I am so jealous. Must find time to make mine. I am so proud of you miss Lydia, what a fantastic job you have done but I agree make it bigger that way you can snuggle under.
love me :-)
Looking good. Love the photos :)
Oh wow you have accomplished so much keep enjoying your sewing.
Hi Suz~
I just love everything in this post! Your apron turned out great!! I love it, I haven't made mine, I'm kinda thinking that I might skip that project, I LOVE aprons, but they never fit across my...ahem... boobies. Eeeek! I can't believe I just put that on the web!! Well, anyway yours looks great, I adore the fabrics you chose. I smiled SO big seeing your girl there at the table, still in jammies planning her quilt, what a great monster to create!! Now you'll have a partner in crime!!
Your little girl is a doll and her quilt top is so pretty! The apron is gorgeous! what pattern did you use?
