Lily's Little Houses

I'm relieved to say that I'm getting back in the groove of work already. I'm not finding the time mind you, but at least I'm back in the groove and the time spent in my studio isn't wasted by my wandering around aimlessly.

The light has also been a lot better recently and I've been able to get some better photo's of Lily's quilt.
When I started making this small quilt, I intended to use mainly pink fabrics, because unlike when Bella was born, I'm a lot more comfortable with the use of pink. However, sometimes the project just has a mind of it's own, and every time I reached for a pink print, my hand picked up a red one instead.

So it's not exactly what I intended to end up with, but sometimes you just have to sit back and let it happen.
It does look lovely in Lily's cot though (not that we have it in there when she is) and I'm still loving the whole house applique thing.

I also really like the combination of colours on the back of the quilt and can envisage another one in similar colours in the (hopefully) near future.
Which is the great thing about Lily's nursery, it's 'theme' is based more on the effect of patchwork rather than an actual colour scheme, so within reason, I'm not too limited to a particular colour. And that's made it all a lot more fun. Although I do have to pull the creative reins in a little when I can feel myself introducing one too many colours or prints. But more photo's of all of that to come soon.

And sorry, but I just can't help myself....

Red is my favorite color, so of course I just love the quilt! The houses are so fun too. I have noticed that certain colors naturally gravitate to my two girls when making things for them, an I think the Red for Lily was meant to be!
