I have some 10" squares of this fabric line and think this would make a wonderful baby or child's quilt. So happy!!! I find your blog intriguing. Your projects are so lovely. I may just try this, but I would put a modern twist on it, by using SoftFuse for the balloons and making them a bit larger, so few bunches of them. I can't face doing the hand stitching, so I would also try couching for the balloon strings rather than all that hand embroidery. I've been trying to come up with a quilt pattern for years that would be perfect for a Robin Eggs Blue background and I think this would have to be it! Thank you so much for posting this lovely mini & the link to the vintage circa 1930's original. I need to go now to my fabric stash and see if I think R.E.Blue would work with this line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307512310447694400.post-33573281633790478172016-07-20T15:17:36.907+09:302016-07-20T15:17:36.907+09:30This is just adorable!

Back then I had run across some primary colored fur circles and thought they would make perfect balloons on his wall along with something for the strings. I couldn't decide if I wanted some ribbons or paint, although I knew ribbons wouldn't be safe so I had decided on paint. Sadly, I had some problems with my pregnancy that put me into bed for the last 5 months of the pregnancy so he got a crib and changing table for decoration for the most part. LOL Oh well, plans don't always go as planned. Anyway, when I saw your project, that took me back a lot of years because it reminded me of that. Sorry for rambling. <br /><br />I think you did a great job using the machine. I can't do hand stitching at all so I can feel your frustration in not being able to do what you wanted with the hand stitching. I think it looks great though!VickiThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16611232516583515409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307512310447694400.post-66923877305208937232016-07-15T06:19:29.428+09:302016-07-15T06:19:29.428+09:30Oh my goodness, Sedef, this is so cute.
