Using the tutorial by Corey on Coriander Quilts, I printed out 72 templates and started stitching. I had cut a whole pile of 1 inch strings to stitch onto the paper templates, so these came together quite quickly. It was very meditative and I loved seeing the fabrics I loved finding a space next to one another. It is like being reunited with old friends.
After an IG poll, I have decided to use Essex Linen Medium Aqua as the background fabric. The lavender cross hatch did indeed win the popular vote, but when I had a good look at it in real life I did not like it nearly as much as I did the linen. You have to go with your gut, right?
This will be the last I show you of this quilt until the baby arrives. I need to keep a bit of surprise for when it is gifted. Until then, know I am quietly stitching away, loving every bit of it.

It's going to be such a beautiful quilt, and perfect for a new arrival! I need to get a wiggle on for the expected new arrival to my own family!
It is going to be beautiful! I love the scrappy blocks!
I love the scrappy stars!! That's a great choice and a nice way to use up small bits of fabric. It sounds like you're really enjoying yourself :-)
I love the bright colours, and this will be so much more useful and used for longer than a blue/pink quilt. x
What a great idea for all those strings, I might just have to pull a pile out and have a go. I hope you'll get to see this once it's been gifted, it looks like it might be missed by you!
Loving your stripping action! This will be a brilliant baby quilt, and a great way to use up smaller pieces. Jxo
