Blues 1

Arlo's quilt 1

Arlo's quilt 3

My mum made this quilt for Arlo a few years ago and she asked for a picture of it because her friend wants to make something similar. I realised I'd never photographed it before and that is probably because Arlo's had it on his bed every night since he received it. Which I think was in 2011.

I'm afraid to say I can't remember the name of the design, but I think the cottons fabrics are mostly Japanese in origin. It's a beautiful quilt.

Also pictured above: a small play with watercolour paints. It's the school holidays so all the paints, pens, papers and glues are out of the cupboard and on the kitchen table. Happiness!

    Agreed…. incredibly beautiful. I love the repeat fabric corner of each block that “anchors” the blocks. Whilst I love all colors and textures of fabric, there are very few quilts that speak to me. This is a winner.
