New quilt for baby


Making a quilt for Tina's baby, I was going to make the usual  pastel colors, using mostly light blue,  But Tina advised me she really wants a darker, richer blue in her nursery, she even had a ribbon to show me as example.  So I have this beautiful dark blue material and used some dark red with little circles of dark blue.  I made three different kinds of squares, the square in a square, the half square triangle and the star triangle.  As usual, I think the quilt looks better in real life than in the picture.  I was going to put the dark blue squares all around the outside edge, but I decided to concentrate them on one side and put most of the reds in the other corner with the pastels more in the middle.  Unusual, I know.
