After much deliberation about what to do with those alternate star blocks I finally finished the Animal Crackers quilt top.I really wanted to keep moving on this quilt so I didn't want to go to the fabric shop to find a fabric that would work. I liked the white as an alternate block but fell that the quilt wanted a bit more movement than that. A different fabric there would bring out the secondary star in the design.
The yellow I had was the right color but a bit to vivid and overpowered the animal print. Following the suggestion from Tine on flickr I tried the back of the yellow print. It was just right. The top is now in the fast growing "to be quilted" pile. I need to work on that pile I guess.I think you might also guess that a certain someone thinks this quilt would look great on her bed. If she keeps this up she will soon be like the princess and the pea with a bed piled high with quilts.
