A new baby will arrive soon, so of course I made a quilt. Not for use in the crib until baby can safely roll over, but useful as a clean surface for "tummy time," a layer in the stroller, etc.
The pattern is one of my favorites, Patio, designed by Happy Zombie I used fabric from my extensive stash and only had to buy the backing fabric. Many of the fabrics are vintage prints (pre-1960 or so) - we can date these fabrics as they are 36" wide, not the current standard of 45." Most of the prints are "conversational" - this is the textile world's term for fabrics with figurative images. One of my favorites is a variation on Little Red Riding Hood (above.)

The fabric below was produced by Rose and Hubble and is based on mosaics by Kaffe Fassett. It's a useful print because of all the colors; I employed it as the binding for this quilt.

Based on a mosaic installation for the Chelsea Flower Show.

The backing is a cute owl fabric by Robert Kaufman designer Ann Kelle. Machine quilted for durability - just an edge-to-edge pattern called Meander, expertly done by Burlington Electric Quilters.
