I finally found the perfect combo: spots and owls. Erm, okay! To explain, I'm desperately whipping up a baby sleeping bag, only the second I've made in my life. This one is for my little sis who might have a new baby any day now, hence the freaking out, pallid brow and procrastination that I've been exhibiting for the last few weeks.
You see, it has to be perfect because my sis is a perfectionist (this is a good thing) when it comes to sewing at least as she's a professional upholsterer. This does make the anxiety levels slightly higher than usual...So I've been spending a lot of waking hours trying to work out the lining fabric to match this lovely flannelette which came from my mum's stash, which makes it even more special:
Anyway, to cut a long story short, Spotlight had the perfect spotty cotton which matched rather well with the turquoise owls. Mission accomplished!

Anyway, I finally plucked up the courage, cut into the fabrics and whipped up most of it in a day! Now I just have to bind the armholes and neckline and it's done, just in time, I hope.
