Snuggle Bubbles

Background

I liked the quilt when I saw it at Village Quilts in Lethbridge in June 2011. Especially the minky fabric used in the pinwheels. So I bought it figuring someone we knew would have a baby (boy) sooner or later. There were a few other quilts bought that year, but until this year, there hadn't been any need to finish this one.

Kevin and Stephanie were expecting a baby in July 2013, so Barbara started the quilt on March 5, 2013. She wanted to have it done so I could take it with me when I went for my annual visit to Alberta. The top was finished on April 8th, and it was completed April 12th. It had a fannel backing fabric, some polyester batting, and was machine quilted by Barbara.

Here it is December and I'm finally letting you know that Stephanie and Kevin (mostly Kevin I think) chose this quilt over the Jungle Baby quilt.

Mason, Grandma and Quilt

Well not quite Mason in his quilt. But he is a might small at the moment — less than a week old when the photo was taken. That's his paternal grandmother, Kristine, with the quilt behind her.

A full shot of the quilt, a close-up of the fabrics & pinwheels, and the backing fabric are also available.
