I’m thrilled with how this one turned out. Beautifully crinkled, soft and relaxed, perfect for a little baby.
Which is a good thing as I am sending it to my cousin who is due in a few months, the same cousin who I made the grey cardi for. Ames did huge amounts of babysitting for us when we were local and it was very much appreciated.

This soft quilt and the gray cardi should thrill one momma to be!
It’s beautiful Kate, looks so soft and snuggly. xo
I love the colour choices & the contrast of the liberty floral backing .
Lucky mother & baby !!
Love it. The colors are so pretty.
What a lovely sunny quilt. I’m loving those Liberty fabrics. x
Sweet Kate! xxt
oh i love your animated gifs! the quilt is fantastic. lucky baby.
It’s beautiful! I love the colors, perfect for a sweet newborn but I also kinda want it in my own room :)
What a lovely colour combination! I’ve found myself using a lot of yellow in quilts etc for soon-to-appear baby number two, as it’s practically the only gender neutral baby colour I like (don’t yet know what we’re having). Love the LIberty backing – must be incredibly soft and yummy!
It’s perfect Kate!
Love the colours & can just imagine how soft it is with the Liberty backing. Another beauty x
Great quilt! Love the colors.
It’s just perfect. x
The quilt turned out beautifully. It will look great with a little bundle wrapped in a grey cardi! :)
Absolutely beautiful, Kate. Even from here I can tell that it’s so soft and snuggly. Am sure it will be love for a very long time x
(ps – what’s the stripe binding??)
Kicking myself, I am. I’ll have to have another baby or something. When the youngest was tiny I was googling Youtube knitting videos. The quilty thing entirely escaped my attention. ‘Til now…GAH!
You are so good at putting colours together. And the whole backing made from Liberty… How luxurious!
P.S. See my blog for some thoughts on your work :-)
This is really lovely Kate, I love the pattern! I’m just about to embark on my second quilt ever, and I’m not set on the exact pattern so I’ll keep this one in mind! G x
Gorgeous Kate! Love the colours so much xx
That is just beautiful!
that liberty fabric on the bottom is my fav. your cousins is going to feel so loved.
lovely Kate, the colours are divine, and I love your random quilting, going to try that next. Your machine stitched binding looks great too, why am I too scared to try this??
Your color choices just make this quilt POP! Great Job.
