My Local Quilt Shop had their grand re-opening this weekend, in a new and beautiful space. Keith graciously let me go to it early (part of a Mother's day weekend for me, I think), and at the last minute I spotted this adorable elephant print from the 1,2,3, Play with me collection by Stofe of Denmark. I'd never seen it before, and the colors in it are playful without being super baby-ish.
I immediately got to work on a quilt top, and finished it off last night!
I added lots of polkadot blenders and rounded the corners to help soften the rigidity of the straight lines. A lot like my solids mini, I seem to like some juxtapositioing in my sewing :)
I backed it with one continuous peice of a DS Quilts grey polkadot which I just LOVE for its modern simplicity and for it's beautiful satiny sheen.
Of course I also added one of my new (woven!) labels.
A bright, fun baby quilt perfect for ushering in the summertime!
Finished quilt size approx 44" x 54"
