Should I be brushing my teeth?

They do look a bit orange - do you think I need to brush them?








I am working to finish one of my Finish-along list....lots of you are getting quickly through your lists (Erin - for example!) and I still have two to do!


I started this lapquilt last year as part of my first ever Quilt-a-long - The Across the Sea one run by Jennifer and Sarah.  I loved the pattern so much I actually was making two - a baby quilt which I did finish....sort of! 











And this one  - a lapsize quilt called the Fright Nite Quilt for Hallowe'en and watching Doctor Who!  These are all my blocks...






I did think about making the border the same as the original and but an image of teeth or rather fangs came into my head!  Much more Hallowe'eny!   






Then when I realised my best option was to paper/foundation piece them I became a bit less keen ....so after this one section it got shelved!


Now having survived wonky houses which were mainly paper pieced I thought I had better return to the ugly teeth!  So here I am six sections down and more to go but how many...?


Originally I was thinking of them being the border...





Now I am thinking of sashing.... but like this







Which layout to go for?   I am leaning towards option 2, more scary I thought.....what do you think?






Now we all like a smile and a happy face don't we?


Well I was helping out at toddler group this morning and taking my camera caught a few pics of the Twinkle quilt baby!


Here she is making a lunge for my camera hence the blurry image...



She was smiling shortly before I took this picture....and in fact shortly after..


Obviously being a supermodel is exhausting work but she did wake up in time for singing!



And here is her Twinkle quilt!






Don't forget to help me out on the toothy dilemma....

  9. I feel a little like that baby, could just drop off to sleep like that.
    I like fangy option one, but you know I am not very adventurous! Whichever one you choose it will be great.

  10. Brush them? Girl you need to see a dentist and a tooth specialist!
    Option 2 is the best it helps to break up the red!!
    Loving the quilts!! =D

  11. I'd go teeth along the top and bottom only, but that's me being awkward!

  13. I like them as the border.

  16. Hey chick! Thanks so much for scottish pippi, got her today thanks. For some reason you dropped off my reader list when I switched my blog over to Just Jude, so that might explain why I was awol there for a bit. Hope you are able to pick up my post too, as some folks are having probs. Have missed getting your chirpy emails! Jxo

  17. I like option 2 also but a border would work as well. That is going to be a great quilt!

  18. Like option 2 as they look like little fangy faces! BUT....I LOVE option 1! Probably appeals to my OCD, everything in order side....sorry!

  19. No. 2 for me. Another quilt. Man I found it hard to make just one!

    I always find that I get a little bored if i make the same quilt pattern straight away.
