Children at Play ~ Part 2

Having just last week made a quilt for little girls, it is time to keep my promise and make a quilt for the boys.


I have again used the Children at Play fabric collection by Sarah Jane, this time using the more  boy orientated fabrics: rockets, bikes, kites and paper hats in the blue, green, orange and yellow color palette. 


I have used numerous other prints in addition to the Children at Play collection, including a stripe print and several larger scale dot prints.  Although I have generally remained true to the initial color palette I love how the overall  feel of this quilt top has been changed by these additions.


I have also added a off-white border around the outer edge of the quilt and although it doesn't have great appeal right now, I do think it will look great once a high contrast binding has been added to finish the quilt.

I am keen to start quilting this one as I think it will add a little more interest and texture to these fairly large size blocks.

Thank you for stopping by,
Rita
