A good friend of mine from London was about to have her first baby and what does a quilter always give as a gift? Cute baby girl clothes! SO, I decided to break from the clothes gift and make a fun little crib quilt for her.
It also turns out that I had already planned the design for an upcoming issue of QuiltNow! Two birds, One stone sort of thing.
I have used Katarina’s Avant Garde prints for a previous project and when I saw this new Blithe range I was all over it. A call was made to Art Gallery Fabrics and a few days later I had the lovely blues and grays in my possession (and possession is 9/10th’s of the law) so I jumped right in on cutting it up.
The Pattern for this quilt can be found in Issue 33 of Quilt Now! (Out on Feb 16th)
Lately I have been adding a bit of the selvedge to the quilt back that way we will always know what fabrics were used to make the quilt.
If you decided to make your own version of Harriet’s Quilt please do send me an image. I would love to see it!!

The baby looks so happy with her quilt. A great idea to have the selvedge as part of the quilt!
Thanks Mara. Figured adding the selvedge couldn’t hurt and it would help me remember the name of the designer and range.
