Thanks to the inspiration from this post by DesignMom, I think that someday I might try my hand at a charm quilt.
First comes Sofia's crib bedding, however, which will be quite a challenge. I've decided to have a go at it myself. Mom bought some fabric from JoAnn she thought I'd like (she has an impeccable knack for guessing my tastes). There are a couple swatches I do love, and a couple I don't. What she showed me actually consisted of mostly bright teal and white. Which, thinking about it, would be perfect for a beachy, airy lake-home feel. The color scheme I've decided to go with is reflected a lot in the following images (found via Google Image Search)...
The fabric that's my favorite is a soft - almost flannel - solid, very saturated teal. I think I might like to use that for the bumper, and maybe do some white piping or ribbon trim around the edges. Too much work? (I thought I'd cheat and buy plain white fitted sheets, and not bother with the crib skirt).
Coincidentally, House of Turquoise has been one of my favorite sites to browse for home inspiration.
