Armed with one FQ stack of Elizabeth Hartman's Pacific fabric line in the cool tones, I set out to make 2 crib-sized shop samples for Jackman's Fabrics.
The managers at the shop tend to call me with trepidation when there's a pattern with tiny piecing that they'd really like to showcase. It's funny because...those are the quilts I love best! Tough to do on a deadline, but I seem to always finish on time!
These were fun quilts to make, building 2 at a time (the pattern is written so you can build 4 at a time and combine into one large quilt with the option to make smaller crib-sized quilts). It took me a few minutes to get my bearings to begin with the way this pattern was written, but once it clicked, I was off and piecing. Don't get me wrong, this was a well written pattern, but I was not accustomed to it's chart-like directions. It really didn't very take long to get used to!
One of these quilts now lives with my sister, Jenna. I gifted it to her when her son, Connor, was born. Perfect for a little baby boy! I still have the other one!
