However, I've also now realised that I'm excited to give it a go and my excitement might just end up winning over my sensibilities! :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-1380709561487264502012-08-30T23:44:25.467-04:002012-08-30T23:44:25.467-04:00I think it will still turn out beautiful either wa...I think it will still turn out beautiful either way. Have you decided on your target market since you're planning to open an etsy shop? It helps to know their likes / preferences thus it'll be much easier to decide which route you should take, in my opinion.<br />Having said that, it would be fun to see a traditional quilt with a modern quilting design though. ;)FarahLinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16515146651476897361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-18880424960448663702012-08-30T06:44:24.803-04:002012-08-30T06:44:24.803-04:00Thanks Marit :)Thanks Marit :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-83537060532216288182012-08-30T06:27:19.727-04:002012-08-30T06:27:19.727-04:00So pretty.

I think this could be really pretty and girly but I'm torn as I'd already decided to do traditional Irish chain quilting diagonally along the chains. I want to sell the quilt once I open my Etsy shop when my green card comes through and I just can't decide if modern or traditional is the way to go with this one - what do you think?Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-36266765195807437822012-08-29T12:10:43.974-04:002012-08-29T12:10:43.974-04:00Isn't it Silvana - it reminds me of when my da...Isn't it Silvana - it reminds me of when my daughter, F, was small and it's the colours of her bedding then :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-63292844142534683682012-08-29T11:13:16.424-04:002012-08-29T11:13:16.424-04:00So beautiful!So beautiful!Alison V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01083271975458964740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-21318159857655701902012-08-29T11:06:17.141-04:002012-08-29T11:06:17.141-04:00Your top is so pretty!!!
