BRIGHT BABY QUILT

For a friend’s grandchild, I designed a really bright and playful quilt.  I am not personally a fan of pastel quilts, because I know babies react to bright colors; so this square in a square in a square quilt was fun to do.  An array of related prints framed in contrasting colors, some of which had appliquéd squares inserted onto the centers worked well for my concept.  It was backed with a stash fabric of smaller bright squares in primary colors.  The parents-to-be were very happy. I hope the baby will be too.
