I agree with the others. Use both. Do the sides in one and the top in
the other. Tamara A&T wrote: I am working on my first baby quilt that needs to be finished by Feb. 26. (something I thought I would never make!!)

Hullo Tricia
What an absolutely lovely little quilt - wish it was for me! (I love Pooh, too g). I do prefer the blue, though I couldn't tell why for a little while? Then I realised that I think it is because there is quite a bit of blue in the Pooh pictures and the blue seems to enhance that. That doesn't mean to say that the pink looks bad or anything - it was a close call, for me! Enjoy the finishing. ..

I thought I'd say blue as I generally prefer it to
pink. This time I am leaning toward the pink. Instead of nine patch corners, I respectfully suggest you consider doing the corners with either more Pooh squares, or HST made of the left over key board borders.

I agree with all of those that have said to use both colors the way you have
it laid out, but I wouldn't miter the corners where the pink and blue meet since there are no mitered corners on the inside blocks. It is a very cute quilt, Tricia, and that is a very lucky baby girl that is on the receiving end. Dee in LeRoy, NY "A&T" wrote in message ink.net...

I really like the pale blue, but I am leaning toward pink because the baby is a girl. Personally, though I love blue, I like the pink border better. I think it gives the quilt more "life".

I think your quilting design sounds perfect!

I really like the pale blue, but I am leaning toward pink because the baby is a girl. If it were me I would use narrower strips and do blue-pink-blue. If it must be just one color, I would go with the blue. The pink seems to overpower the pooh fabric a bit on its own. You can get away with blue for a girl a lot more easily than pink for a boy. Though I never could see why there should be a fuss about either. NightMist -- "To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains." -Mary Pettibone Poole |
