Here is what is on the design wall at the moment. I finished the first alphabet quilt and decided to do at least one more, but with a few modifications to the shapes of the letters. I used graph paper to draw them out, and am being a bit more intentional about the shapes and colors I am using.
Here is the plan with the altered letters. I found some free graph paper online and printed out 8 squares to the inch, because I'm making 8 inch squares, then I just count the squares to know how big to make the pieces. It makes it much easier.
Here is the finished top. I like the way this one came out too, and now I just need to quilt it. I think I'll probably use gray thread for the quilting, though I may end up using matching or complementary colors for quilting the letters. I planned to use a fleece back, but perhaps I'll change that to flannel, much more baby friendly.

Mary, this is very nice! How fun!! :)
looks great! I think a light grey thread would be a nice addition to your baby quilt.
I like it a lot but think I like the redrawn ones even better. Is it OK to copy your graph paper? I will like to add this to my very long list of quilts to make.
I love your letters, modern yet tratitional. Where did you find the free graph paper?
This is so cool! What a great design! Love it -
This is really cool Mary! I like both versions of your letters!
That turned out wonderfully!! Like the new one that you're working on as well.
Fantastic--so graphic and fun. Great job!
What a cute quilt. Love the modern look. I'd be interested in where you found the graph paper online free.
