My mom gave me Joelle
Hoverson's Last-Minute Patchwork + Quilted Gifts for Christmas over a year ago, and I just completed my first project from the book. My first quilt ever! It was pretty easy, as it involved absolutely no patchwork. The only tricky part was squaring up the shifty linen I used. In other words, don't look too closely! I was inspired by
this dress, and I think the result has a nice
Muji-
esque simplicity. When I get around to it, I'd love to make a large quilt with the same material and design for my own bed. This one, however, is going to a friend of mine who's about to have a baby. I love the texture of the linen and think this will make a perfect spring/summer blanket to have around, not to mention that it goes with everything.

Your friend is lucky! It is really a challenge to find gorgeous baby goods, gender neutral and pretty almost never happens and you nailed it!
So simple + perfect.
oh, it's lovely! (i thought of that dress when i saw it.) that is one lucky baby. :)
it's simple but lovely! thanks for sharing!
Very nice, and yes Beautiful in it's simplicity. I too love the texture of linen. I like how you chose the subtle contrast of the parallels and perpendiculars. Each side has a different feel, yet so very similar.
absolutely perfect
I love it. Your choice of fabric is so great. (I have been meaning to make peanut the elephant from that book, I better get going before my own friend has her baby!)
that's one lucky baby! I love the fabric combo.
i really like the knots holding the fabric together--they make the quilt look rugged yet gorgeous. beautiful job!
lovely. can i ask who makes the fabric.
So simple and lovely - you have a lucky friend!

This is very beautiful. I’ve got some baby-blanket-making on the horizon and will be reaching for my copy of the same book for inspiration. What did you fill it with, a thin cotton batting? It just looks great, Jenny.
thank you! yep, i used thin cotton batting that i bought at a quilt shop a few years ago.
