Soft as a nursery at nap time: this baby quilt is all pale sage, buttercream, and a quiet seafoam gingham, with a little stripe of peach and powder blue along the top and bottom edges. The piecing keeps things calm and uncluttered, a center panel of cream tossed with tiny pastel stars and dots, framed by gingham bands, a chevron stripe, and wide sage borders. It's the kind of layout that lets the quilting be the main event. And oh, the quilting. Baby Feet wanders across every inch in tiny chubby footprints, heel-and-toes, heel-and-toes, each one linked to the next by soft loopy swirls, with little spiral toes that double as travel stitching. Stitched in Sea Mist thread, a pale silvery green that practically melts into the cream and sage, surfacing just enough on the gingham to make you smile. A quilt that will live through a hundred lullabies.
