Design Source - Description | My son helped me collect various fabrics based on Amy Butler Ginger Bliss line along with various other fun fabrics from all over the country. I was leary of the combination, however, it worked out great. The backing is a sage green minkie which makes the quilt especially snuggly. The "baby" quilt is a twin size which should last for many years. I altered the pattern to make the entire quilt pieced instead of appliquéd center blocks. This required me to redraft the entire quilt on graph paper. While the quilt pattern is the same look as "Ginger Bliss" the entire quilt had to be altered by myself. As usual the project started as a simple baby quilt for a shower gift and grew from there. |
