Last time I updated you guys on Project Nursery things had stalled a little as I realised that we had a slight problem – the citron in Michael Miller’s Citron Gray colour story was far more green than I’d anticipated, and so matching it up with anything bought locally or any of the fabrics currently in my stash was going to be near impossible.
