My son's favorite book was Goodnight Moon. I read this to him every night before bed. A few years ago, I had just started quilting when I purchased a lovely fat quarter bundle of Cloud 9's organic Goodnight Moon thinking that maybe someday I could use it.
The fabric is so lovely and the prints are so interesting, I decided not to cut it up very much. Simple squares surround the Great Green Room cheater block.
I love the soft crinkles after being washed. The fleece backing just adds to the softness. Of course this was gifted with a copy of the book.
The wonderful and sweet Val over at Val's Quilting Studio provided the inspiration for these receiving blankets. My goodness is this washed fleece so soft!
Lastly, remember my very talented mother-in-law, she made this super adorable, squishy quilt for her future great grand-child.
Aren't these prints cute?
I know the little one is going to love how soft this quilt is!

ReplyDeleteI made and gifted a baby quilt using the Goodnight Moon fabric as well -- it is one of my favorite baby quilts I have made. (We loved the book when my children were small too.)
