When my SIL asked me to make a quilt for my niece my very first thought was to use the Lilly & Will fabric that I have tucked away. That is until my SIL said "only use a little pink".
Grrrrrrr. She knows me too well. I would have made the entire quilt pink, pink pink! But when I stopped to think about it, she's right. While the Lilly & Will fabric is beautiful, it's also soft and pastel and that does not fit L's personality. L is more of a rough and tumble girl. My SIL asked for bright and bold colors. Again she's right...bright and bold "fit" L's personality best.
Previously, I had never thought about picking a fabric based on the recipients personality. I've always gone by what colors I were pretty and that the giftee would also like. So this will be an interesting "challenge for me".
We did however, pick a pattern. I'm going to be using "Creature Comfort" by Karie Patch Designs. I love this pattern and think it's just perfect for a little girls room. I can't wait to find the perfect fabrics next!
