Wow! There's so many decisions when it comes to quilting. Color, pattern, style, what kind of backing, binding and thread to use. I find it overwhelming. I'm the kind of person that when I go to the store to pick up a steak I can't just grab the first one that looks good to me, I have to look at every package so I know all my choices. It's the same way with quilting. I want to make a quilt for my nephew Mike and his bride-to-be Janet as a wedding gift. I'm not really sure what their "style" is. In fact I don't know if they even know?!Colors? Not sure either. Just know I want to shy away from the very bright or the baby soft colors that many of the masculine opinion in my family shake their head to "Ah, No!" At the same time I want to work with something I enjoy. So one decision made. I love the Denyse Schmidt line "Hope Valley" and have been searching for a project that I could make with it. This is it.
