Posy Progress

My weekend sewing involved this...




I went with the scrappy-ish background - it truly makes the stars the centre of the show. I also added some 'Daisy Bouquet' from the Posy line to the backgrounds...the flowers adds just enough girlie to balance out the Architextures. I do after all, want this to be a baby quilt!.




Isn't the 'Bouquet' fabric from Posy the best! It is definitely my favourite. See the wonderful chartreuse colour in those willowy looking flowers? Oh ya, I am so adding that colour into this quilt. That colour rocks. 



First it rained today and I sewed and then it got sunny. My son and I went for a walk in the sun and ran into a neighbour that is interested in Astronomy. He brought out his special 'sun telescope' (so not the technical term) and set it up in his driveway. I looked at the sun through a telescope - ever done that??!! I could actually see the FLAMES. Total highlight of my weekend. Amazing.


Linking up with the 'Let's Get Acquainted' Monday link up - hosted by Kristy at Quiet Play.
