I put together this colorful blast of puffiness for Kailee B. and Thiv T. as a baby quilt/ playmat for their soon-to-arrive bebe! (Did I mention I am EXCITED?!) For this quilt, I went for bright, juicy colors, but incorporated a gradient towards more pastels and cooler colors towards one end, just to have the option of a bit more peace if needed. :) I raided my stash and cut strips of some favourite fabrics (including a few that I used in Kailee and Thiv's wedding lap quilt), and also did up a few more scrappy strips for a bit of variety. Despite common practice, I decided to forego a border and just go with the end-to-end stripe look, which I have never done but really like. I sandwiched the top with two layers of poofy poly batten, and used some bright green contrasting polkadots for the back. Quilted very simply with horizontal and vertical lines in a square grid pattern, and then made some bright red binding to bring everything together. I really love how it came out, and hope it provides lots of warmth and colorful comfort to the whole family!
