Project Simplify - Day 7
April 15, 2011 After a little deliberation I settled on these four prints for the blocks, a stripe for the inner border & a large print for the outer border.
To help my little assistant & I know which fabrics we're talking about as we build the blocks and lay out the quilt, she named the block prints as follows from top to bottom:
- Pink Funky Roads
- Kisses
- Funky Hearts
- Daisies
What's with all the "funky"? Especially for an 8 year old? I don't think funky is part of the vernacular for today's youth - unless I'm your mom. And we played this game every afternoon when big sister was in Grade 1 because that's the only way I could bribe you into having a nap with me.
And I started calling these two images Funky Flowers & Funky Pony because I grew up with film classics like this and chart-toppers like this.
In that case, not only is funky part of your vernacular, it's practically genetic!
(Whoa, was THAT ever an unexpected trip down memory lane. Anyone else as grateful as I am that white satin jumpsuits are no longer in style?)

I love the prints you picked out for the next quilt and I think the names given to them are awesome! Yes a lot of "funky" going on, but that's okay!
Have a great weekend.....
I can't wait to see this quilt! It helps me see how to change things up a bit when I make it.
Love those cheery fabrics! You're going to have to fill me in on all the great, local quilt/fabric shops! I've already scoped out Rumpled Quilt Skins in Ok, and think it's fabulous!
Love it! Love the colors, especially love the names. It makes me want to get started on some quilts for my girls. However, I'm not allowed to think of new projects right now, I have too many to finish! My 7 year old uses 'funky' as well. It must be back in common use.
I love the fabrics - I'm looking forward to seeing the finished quilt!
I hate to admit it, but I knew both songs and could belt them out effortlessly ....
Good luck with the quilt ~ I'm sure it will look beautiful! We're very grateful for what you do for us! Hugs!
Dancing Queen playing on the radio on the way to gymnastics...the word funky reminds me of the "Funky Cheeseman" story...if you haven't read it with your girls, it recommend it...is so super funny! Lisa in Texas
Love the fabric especially kisses and daisies!
Funky is good, do you know I watched Mama Mia last weekend - brilliant!

Rock on sister... It should come as no surprise that I'm a My Little Pony fan from way back!
