Pretty in Pastels Baby Quilt

Monday November 2, 2009

quilt block patternPretty in Pastels is a 30" x 42" baby quilt that's made entirely with the traditional Clay's Choice block. I felt that pastels suited the design, but you can change the quilt's character by working with vibrant colors. Place darks or very warms where my blues are, and then use cool colors for the outer squares of each block -- the design will shift significantly with those simple changes.

Thank you, Gwen — I’m glad you’re finding things that help. I have another baby quilt just about ready to publish.
