I promised to share the sources of inspiration for my newest project, so here they are: (1) Ashley of
Film in the Fridge recently posted photos of
a new quilt she's made using Marimekko's Karkuteillä fabric. I was reminded that I'd bought a remnant of this fabric in another colorway (and with the boots cut off) during my discount Marimekko
shopping spree back in February, so I dug it out and got to work. (2) I love this brown polka dot fabric (the zebra is brown) even though the green isn't quite right, and I found some solids that matched the Marimekko fabric quite well. I wanted a simple back (or front) for this quilt and found my inspiration on the backs of
these little quilts by Helen of
Patchy Work of Mini Grey. Now I just need to find some ideas for quilting it! Any suggestions?

Now I understand about leaving the boots off! What a cute piece. So whimisical!
Very nice! But I guess I can't make orange your accent color anymore!
This is really cute. Love the bright colors. I haven't been a quilter long enough to have ideas on how to quilt things.
What a cool block design! I like the dot fabric too.
