Made this lovely little upcycled baby quilt for my dear friend Karen B. in the Netherlands, as she and her partner are set to welcome their first child into the world. I started with a simple square-block design, and then pierced the order with some colorful strips of chaos, fitting for the life-altering-ness of a baby. I like the stripey border, which I made a little wider on the top and bottom to help make it a bit more of a rectangle. I quilted it simply with horizontal lines along the border between the colorful stripes, and then quilted down either side of the strips. Did a pieced backing with a panel of that beautiful egret upcycled curtain fabric I was given. And bound it all in the border fabric, which has a little bit of an offset confetti feel. I love it! Hope baby Brummel spends many a cozy nap on this quilt from Auntie Amy in Canada!
