decisions

I've finally gotten the fabrics scanned in, and I don't think that the pinkish handdye is going to be as much of a problem as I initially thought. Now though, I am having trouble making two designs that are enough alike to show that they go together, but unalike enough that they look different. I've tried taking the same pattern and changing the colors up, but no luck so far. I keep ending up with quilts with very different personalities, and I don't want to be dictating that for the girls.

I'm also sick to death of appliquing little hearts and other shapes onto that preschooler's quilt. I have mastered machining points, but I am VERY tired of doing so. Ah well. Right now I'm enjoying the costumes in Troy that DH brought home to study the spear and shield technique. Go figure.
