I wanted to make a quilt for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, but it was really tough trying to figure out what to do, until I spotted this fabric at Hyggeligt. This fabric has the accent colours of my parents' bedroom, I thought "perfect!" but it had to pass the mom test first so I showed it to her and she approved :). But what to do with it...my mom loves whites and neutrals and does not do wonky or liberated... total opposite of me :P I came up with a general design with baskets and showed it to her.
She made suggestions, she was very specific: 5 baskets in a diamond shape and the rest off-white.
I thought it was a little plain but with the right machine quilting it could be amazing! Unfortunately I could not get it done in time for their anniversary as I ran out of the off white fabric and so did the store so I had to wait for a restock...so I gave this postcard as a substitute gift along with some nice brandy...

I love the fabric, which is unlike me as I don't usually like floral type prints. I think it's wonderful and not too plain.
