This is a fun, bright colored quilt to perk up any bedroom. I used yellow, green and red to dominate the design. Watching for the “light source direction” in the placement of the blocks creates the illusion of a stack of a child’s building blocks.

Baby Rattles
5 04 2010This is an example of a one block quilt. I used a collection of 1930’s reproduction prints in an assortment of colors and patterns to create a baby quilt that is all softness. I took all my clues from the curved shape of the pieces.
