I like the jewel box one. My daughter would like a quilt made for her, but she keeps pointing out ones, that seem to be extremely complicated. Does this one make up well?

And are you going to make it?

Although thinking about it, the design here is a little two angular, I think she prefers the softer shapes, which of course are more difficult.

Honestly, I don't know if it makes up well. I just liked the look of it (plus, it looked pretty simple, with easy, repeating blocks - always a bonus).

I'm thinking about making it - I'll have to find the fabrics, first, though!

yes, I would like to make that one... but my daughter wants one that would go on a bed, not a throw so whatever I make it will have to be worth the cost.

Could you do it with scraps? Light and dark-coloured ones all mixed up?

I'm not sure.. it would depend on the colours.
