I gifted this to Dallas A. and Roberto C. for their impending bundle o' joy, and frankly, is one of my favourite baby quilts I have made of late. Inspired by a piece of Indonesian batik that my aunt gave to me over the holidays, I used that as the backdrop to a series of complimentary diamonds made out of primary colors. To make the diamonds I started with half square triangles of the background and navy, and then snowballed the navy with 4 different colors. From there is was just a matter of piecing them all together, sewing some narrow borders in between the squares and rows, and sandwiching it all up! I echoed the same fabrics from the diamonds in the binding, and backed it all with another piece of Indonesian cotton. Before binding, I quilted the blanket simply by echoing the diamonds, in a variegated rainbow thread. I love how this came out, and hope that the new member of our urban family enjoys this quilt for years to come!
