My niece is 8 months old and the quilt I made before she was born has been featured as the backdrop for many photos. I was shopping for quilting fabric for a couch blankie, but was overwhelmed with the choices and couldn't pin down a feature fabric. I was about ready to leave the store when I spotted a fat quarter with little pirouetting pigs in tutus. Trust me, it is the most adorable print on a sunny yellow background with pink and greens and tiny bluebirds. I had to have it. Well 2 fat quarters of it anyway.
After that, it was a snap to pick 8 more prints. Easy peasy. The quilt is simple: squares positioned so that each print goes diagonally down the length. It's sewn and partially hand quilted. I hope to have it done in the next month or so, just in time to catch the Indian summer that Seattle is famous for.
