I have a love of big, bright, bold, 'in your face' colour..... and so I found it quite amusing when a girlfriend requested some new wraps for her baby daughter. She was happy for me to choose the print / pattern of the fabrics. The only specific request was that she wanted a 'toned down' version of what I would usually make.
I headed for the very large unhelpful chain fabric / craft shop yesterday in search of some 'toned down' fabrics.....
.....and this is about as 'toned down' as I can manage.

That is probably all the toning down she wanted. The look great - soft and girly too.
Well done for:
- braving that large, unhelpful (often soul destroying!) shop
- toning it down nicely!
Nice Choice of Fabrics...Girlie & Pretty...
Very nice balance of calm and colour! So the Store-that-must-not-be named has some uses! We like that spot, too! Lisa.
This is probably exactly what she wanted!
Gee I wonder if we are shopping at the same place? I also have a large unhelpful chain shop like that and it is my only option within half an hour of here, though I doubt in mine, which is also messy, I would even be able to find such things.
They are gorgeous BTW I bet your friend loves them to bits!
Beautifully "toned down" I love those combinations, lucky baby to be warm and so stylish.
they are so pretty!!!
can I ask what type of fabric you used?
I used to live near a rather large very helpful well stocked, clean very cheery chain store....
now ive moved and the one near me is like yours maybe worse as I entered there the other day so did a dirty lil brown mouse eeeek! I ran screaming from the building and have not been back since
wow the toned down version are still very gorgeous!!! how horrible having to go to THAT store
Oooh this is rather lovely. I adore these colours!
Very beautiful, I am sure your friend will be happy!
Oh wow its stunning! i LOVE it!

Pretty!
Deeeeeevine!! Love the wrap with the striped binding.
Oh lovely! Great work. She will love them.
You should have requested a voodoo lend. Though, having typed that you, quite obviously did a grand job of survival - and lived to tell the tale!
and what pretty "toned down" fabrics they are! :)
Well I think you've done a splendid job of toning it down. Lovely!
Really lovely, I too am one for the bright, bold and in your face colour, but I can tolerate a little toned down occasionally.
too cute, as are all your makings.
You exercised great restraint! They are very pretty.
I love that top one, the stripy and (starburst?) fabrics are wonderful together! Great toning down :)
I think they are beautiful!!
What a lucky friend you have! Love the colours and patterns, the baby is sure to love them too xo
Toned down enough or not, I think you did a wonderful job. The colours are lovely and the whole looks so sweet and cuddly!
