This quilt was made for the first child of 2 Manhattanites. The dad is an investment broker (St. Mark’s and Hamilton alum) and the mom is a Blue Devil grad and professional actress. The little girl was born in the winter but I wanted to make something cheerful and bright to counter the grey that permeates NYC in the cold, dark months.
So I found NON-Eastery bunny fabric and matched it with coordinating colors of yellow, blue, pink, and green. Very girly and fun! I used a strip-piecing method to put it together and then quilted with multiple colors of threads.
The back is interesting enough to post a picture as well. I had a little bit left of the strips and added motifs of butterfly, frog, fruit, and another rabbit. Like all quilts that I make, I added a hanging sleeve in case the recipients want to display it on the wall.
