Whoos in progress!

I'm making some progress with my WIPs this week. It feels good!

Most important is this baby quilt.

I started it two years ago and then put it aside for a while. When I got it out again the nursery colours had changed from turquoise and brown to green and pale grey. I think it all works together pretty well. We have decided against a border, it is already 54 inches square. So next up is sandwiching and quilting it. I've got some lovely minky with owls on it for the back.

I'm thinking a white meander around the owls and a little outlining in invisible thread within the owl bodies. What do you think?

    I LOVE your owls. Yes, the colors all work very well together. I think you should quilt the circles in their bellies alternating a swirl and a flower.

    Love the quilt, but if you are using invisible thread on a baby quilt, just make sure that all loose pieces are clipped so they can't wind around tiny fingers or toes & cut off circulation. They would be very hard to see and might be overlooked until too late. I never use these threads on baby quilts-just a personal preference.
