Three large sunflowers are appliqued against a blue and white background. Each sunflower has eight petals, all in different yellow prints. The sunflower centers are two layers of different brown prints, and the outermost center was stitched down with the raw edges exposed, so they frayed softly upon laundering. I used variegated green thread to stitch the stems and leaves, and a variegated yellow and orange thread to stitch the sunflower petals.
I used Warm & White 100% cotton batting, and quilted in a gently meandering grid. The quilt is backed in crisp white, and bound on three sides in orange with white polka dots. The bottom edge is bound in green on green polka dots. I gently laundered the quilt upon completion, allowing the cotton batt to shrink its standard 2 to 4%.
38.5" x 42.25" (97.8 x 107.3 cm), sized for your baby from infancy through toddlerhood and beyond! The frayed edges of the sunflowers provide wonderful texural interest for curious little fingers during tummy time.
This quilt also makes a stunning wall hanging for the nursery or any room in your home. A hang sleeve has been installed in the same crisp white fabric as the backing, and will not interfere with use as a blanket.
Signed, labeled and ready to ship. This quilt ships via USPS Priority Mail.
All Moon Spirit Studios baby quilts are made from quality, 100% cotton fabrics, pieced and quilted with cotton thread. All fabrics are pre-washed and dried prior to making the quilt. Quilt bindings are a double layer of fabric, and are hand-stitched to the back of the quilt. Quilts are gently laundered upon completion.
Please wash and dry your quilt on gentle, cool cycles. For maximum color retention, line dry and keep from prolonged exposure to direct sun.
